Trace clockwise / counter-clockwise
Hello,
I really like the Trace feature, allowing you to trace the edges of one entity when drawing another. I use this mainly to draw land backgrounds following the landmass edges. My only issue is that I never seem to have a choice regarding the direction in which the trace goes. I select the entity I want to trace, the starting point of the trace, and then sometimes the trace goes for example clockwise all the way around my other entity, when I want it to go counter-clockwise on a short distance. Is there a way to tell the trace to go the other way ?
I hope I made myself clear.

1. The point where you select the entity you want to trace
2. The point where you start the trace.
The trace will always run from point 2 to point 1. That's how you control the direction of the trace.
There is also a trace tutorial on page 58 in the CC3+ User Manual.
Hope that helps!
Thanks.
