Reverse command

Post by RobB » Fri Apr 08, 2022 2:10 pm

Wanting to swap the beginning and the end of a line, I found in the Modify menu the command 'Reverse' which works fine.
Its abbreviation is listed as 'RV'.
However, when typing 'RV' (or 'rv') at the command line, it tells me that it is an unknown command.

RV is the shortcut or keycode for this tool. You can simply select the entity, then hit the R key and then the V key.

The command for the command line would be "reverse".

That's because you don't type the shortcut in the command line, as Andrew says, select an entity the press R followed by V, do NOT type in the command line.
