curve
reverseCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The reverseCurve command reverses the direction of a curve or
curve-on-surface. A string is returned containing the pathname
of the newly reversed curve and the name of the resulting dependency
node. The reversed curve has the same parameter range as the original
curve.
| string[] | (object name and node name) |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
| Advanced flags |
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
  
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
| Common flags |
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off
|
|
-object(-o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node
|
|
-replaceOriginal(-rpo)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create "in place" (i.e., replace)
|
|
-curveOnSurface(-cos)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If possible, create 2D curve as a result
|
|
-range(-rn)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Force a curve range on complete input curve
|
|
|
Flag can appear in Create mode of command
|
Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
|
|
Flag can appear in Query mode of command
|
Flag can be used more than once in a command.

reverseCurve -constructionHistory on curve1;
// Reverses curve1 with construction history on. The result will
// be a string array, where the first string is the name of the new
// reversed curve and the second string is the name of the new
// dependency node.
reverseCurve -ch off -replaceOriginal on curve1;
// Reverses curve1 without construction history, replacing the original.
// The result will be a string array, where the first string
// is the name of the curve (curve1). Because history is off,
// no dependency node will be created. The reversed curve will
// replace the original curve.
reverseCurve -ch on -rpo on curve1;
// Reverses curve1 with history, trying to replace the original.
// If curve1 was not a result of construction history, then this command
// will simply replace curve1 with the reversed curve. No dependency
// node will be created.
// If curve1 was a result of construction history, then this command
// will insert a reverse dependency node before the curve. eg.
// Before reverseCurve cmd: curve0 ---> closeCurve DN ---> curve1
// After cmd: curve0 ---> closeCurve DN ---> reverseCurve DN ---> curve1
// The result will be a string array , where the first string
// is the name of the curve (curve1) and the second name is the
// new dependency node.
