: Is there a way to reverse the order of anchors in a path? Is there any way to reverse the order of anchors in a path? I don't want to redraw the path again. I want to change the starting

@Dunderdale640

Another way is through a script: reverse path direction script

Yes there is. Obscure question but I was till able to google it. Here is how you do it.

If your path is open:


Select the pen tool (P)
Click the last anchor of the path. The order will be reversed


If your path is closed:


If the path is a compound path, skip to step 4
Select the path with the Selection Tool (black arrow, V)
Click on menu->object->compound path->make. The path will be turned into a "compound path"
Open the Attributes window (menu->window->attributes)
Use the "Reverse path direction" buttons (they are only available for compound paths).




Note: If you cannot see these buttons it is because the Attributes window is "minimized", so it is not showing all the attributes. Click on the top right corner and select "Show all".
