Ellipse.Clockwise property
Gets or sets the ellipse's direction: clockwise or counter-clockwise
Syntax:
Property Get Clockwise() As Boolean
Property Let Clockwise(ByVal Value As Boolean)
Remarks:
The Clockwise property returns or specifies a value indicating whether the ellipse, arc, or pie goes from the start angle to the end angle in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. If the value returned is True, the ellipse has a clockwise rotation.
Examples:
The following VBA example converts the selected ellipse to a pie with a start angle of 0°, an end angle of 90°, and a clockwise rotation.
Sub Test()
Dim s As Shape
Set s = ActiveSelection.Shapes(1)
If s.Type = cdrEllipseShape Then
  With s.Ellipse

 .StartAngle = 0

 .EndAngle = 90

 .Clockwise = True

 .Type = cdrPie
  End With
End If 
End Sub
