Create Revision Clouds
If you review or redline drawings, you can increase your productivity by
using the Revision Cloud feature to highlight your markups.
REVCLOUD
creates a polyline of sequential arcs to form a cloud-shaped object.
You can create a revision cloud from scratch, or you can convert a closed
object, such as a circle, ellipse, closed polyline, or closed spline, to a revision
cloud. When you convert a closed 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 trans-
parent and real-time panning and zooming.
