Well struggle no more!
Until now Arcs were placed into drawings by design in a counterclockwise direction. AutoCAD now offers an option to change direction while in the Arc Command to a clockwise direction.
Start the Arc Command
Place your first two known point of your arc
Hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard prior to your last placement of your Arc. This is where you are being prompted at the command line for “Specify end point of arc” or “Specify center point of arc” then move the cursor into the desired Clockwise direction and place your last point.
This option works on all Arc options except the Start, End, Direction Arc option as that option offers the direction option right within the command.
