• Paths have either clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The Rectangle, Polygon, and Ellipse
tools draw in a clockwise direction. With the Line tool, the direction in which you draw sets
the path direction. With the Pen and Bezigon tools, the order in which you place points sets
the path direction.
The path direction affects path operations (see “Changing a path’s direction” on page 95) and
blending.
