Is there a way to change the direction of the arc when drawing a smartline without having to zoom way out to find the center of the arc? It seems to randomly decided if it wants to start with the short arc or long one and it's a pain to have to zoom way out on a big arc and zoom back in to change it. See my screen vid for a visual of what I mean. Better yet, is there a way to change it so it always defaults to start with the short arc instead of the long one? I pretty much never want the long arc. I've tried this with MS Versions 08.11.09.829 and 10.02.00.39 and the functionality was the same with both. I've also noticed a similar issue with the arc tool. With direction unchecked sometimes it defaults to start with CW (where the arc starts long and sometimes it starts with CCW (where the arc will start short). I have no idea why it picks one or the other to start with. Regardless if which way it starts I would prefer it to always start with the short arc. When it starts to with the long one it's takes a lot of fiddling with the cursor/snap to get it to switch to how I want the curve or I have to manually go set the direction.
