If you digitize a circle outline object (using Circle/Oval tool) using an asymmetrical motif, the motif runs inside the circle in an anti-clockwise direction. Rectangle objects place the motif outside the shape. If you want to reverse the orientation, first apply Mirror X or Y to the single run object and then apply the motif.

Tip: If you have already created the motif and want to invert it, first select the object and click Single Run. Then invert it using Mirror X or Y and re-select the desired motif.
