Andy0902 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If your like me and cant draw a rev cloud free hand, this is how to do it so it looks nicer/acceptable:lol: ... First of all, draw an Ellipse, Circle, Rectangle or a Closed polyline around the part of the drawing you wish to Rev Cloud. Next, click on Revision Cloud or type REVCLOUD, then type A for ArcLength. A good Arclength is about 10 on an A1 sheet(if your drawing in model space just play around untill you get a nice size) Once you have selected your ArcLength type O for Object then select the object you drew at the start, choose which direction you would like your cloud. Easy as that:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy78 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Great tip, thanks! You can also type rc instead of revcloud, that makes it even faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy0902 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 typing RC does some kind of render? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulse Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 typing RC does some kind of render? Use the command Alias editor (express tool) and change it - I don't do renders, so RC is REVCLOUD for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRPPIPER Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 also if you change the arc length to 2 different acceptable sizes (minimum-maximum) then it looks more natural as well! very good tip, i have been using this method for quite some time! and i am alot faster than some co-workers that try to do it free hand and get cought up in "snaps"... (i mean i know you can turn them off.. but still...lol..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy0902 Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 when it prompts for 'style' select 'C' for calligraphy. looks alot better than the the bubble ^^ I guess that's personal preference. It also depends on the CAD standards you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundar1210 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 what is the shortcut command for "REVISION CLOUD" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Watch your command line when you click on a button or an item from a menu. The command call will be shown. The shortcut for Revision Cloud is not really much of a shortcut. It's REVCLOUD. But you can make your own shortcut: http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/AutoCAD_tips_create_alias.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker1989 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Does anyone know if this is possible with AutoCAD 2000i, when I pull up the Rev Cloud Command it doesn't give me the object option. cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 No, the object Option was added later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker1989 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks eldon, really need to get the company to upgrade, what is crazy is because I am a student I have the 2011 and 2012 packages on my laptop at home and at work in a business that does this for a living we have 2000i, or as my immediate boss refered to it yesterday as: AutoCAD f****** Play Doh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
