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

Great tip, thanks! :thumbsup:

You can also type rc instead of revcloud, that makes it even faster.

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!

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..)

I guess that's personal preference. It also depends on the CAD standards you are using.

Careful where you place your rev-clouds, it may be costly...

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
