polyline of sequential arcs to form a cloud-shaped object. You can select a
style for a revision cloud: Normal or Calligraphy. If you select Calligraphy,
the revision cloud looks as if it was drawn with a calligraphy pen.
You can create a revision cloud from scratch, or you can convert objects, such
as a circle, ellipse, polyline, or spline, to a revision cloud. When you convert
an object to a revision cloud, the original object is deleted if DELOBJ is set to
1 (the default).
You can set the minimum and maximum default values for the arc lengths
of a revision cloud. When you draw a revision cloud, you can vary the size of
the arcs by using pick points for the smaller arc segments. You can also edit
the individual arc lengths and chord lengths of a revision cloud by adjusting
the pick points.
REVCLOUD stores the last used arc length as a multiple of the DIMSCALE
system variable to provide consistency among drawings with different scale
factors.
Make sure that you can see the entire area to be outlined with REVCLOUD
before you begin the command. REVCLOUD is not designed to support
transparent and real-time panning and zooming.
To create a revision cloud from scratch
1 Click Home tab ➤ Draw panel ➤ Revision Cloud.
2 At the Command prompt, specify a new minimum and maximum arc
length or specify a revision cloud starting point.
The default minimum and maximum arc lengths are set to 0.5000 units.
The maximum arc length can be no more than three times the minimum
arc length.
3 Guide the crosshairs along the cloud path. You can click pick points along
the path if you want to vary the size of the arcs.
4 Press Enter at any time to stop drawing the revision cloud.
