Summary

The GT_PL_DIR command in GeoTools helps users analyze the directional flow of polyline vertices, identifying whether a selected polyline follows a clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) direction. This tool is particularly useful in surveying, mapping, and GIS applications, where polyline orientation impacts calculations such as area determination, flow direction, and spatial analysis.

GeoTool -> Polyline Tools -> Direction Control -> Find out direction of polyline vertices

Key Features Include:

• Detects and displays whether a polyline is oriented in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
• Works with open and closed polylines, ensuring accurate direction analysis.
• Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
• Useful for boundary verification, GIS topology checks, and CAD-based flow analysis.
• Helps in correcting orientation issues that affect further calculations and designs.

Benefits:

With GT_PL_DIR, users can quickly determine polyline direction, ensuring proper geospatial alignment and precision in CAD workflows.
