REVCLOUD Command

REVCLOUD Command

Creates or modifies a revision cloud. 

You can create a new revision cloud by selecting two corner points or polygonal points, dragging your cursor, or you can convert an object such as a circle, polyline, spline, or an ellipse into a revision cloud. Use revision clouds to highlight parts of a drawing that are being reviewed. 


The first time you create a revision cloud in a drawing, the size of the arcs are determined based on percentage of the diagonal length of the current view. This ensures that the revision cloud starts at a reasonable size. 
The following prompts are displayed: 
First Corner Point
Specifies a corner point of the rectangular revision cloud. 
Opposite Corner
Specifies the diagonally opposite corner of the rectangular revision cloud. 
Reverse Direction
Reverses the direction of sequential arcs on the revision cloud. 
Start Point
Sets the starting point for the polygonal revision cloud. 
Next Point
Specifies the next point to define the polygonal shape of the revision cloud. 
Reverse Direction
Reverses the direction of sequential arcs on the revision cloud. 
First Point
Specifies the first point for the freehand revision cloud. 
Arc Length
Specifies an approximate value for the  chord length of each arc. The chord length of an arc is the distance between the endpoints of the arc. The default value of the arc chord length is automatically determined the first time you create a revision cloud in a drawing. 
Object
Specifies an object to be converted to a revision cloud. 
Rectangular
Creates a rectangular revision cloud using the specified points as diagonally opposite corners. 
Polygonal
Creates a revision cloud defined by three or more points to use as vertices of a polygon from which to generate the revision cloud. 
Freehand
Creates a freehand revision cloud. 
Style
Specifies the style of the revision cloud. 
Normal 
Creates revision clouds using the default typeface. 
Calligraphy
Creates revision clouds similar in appearance to calligraphy. 
Modify
You can redefine an existing revision cloud with the Modify option and specifying one or more new points. When prompted to select a side to erase, the portion of the revision cloud that you select is erased. This option replaces specified portions of an existing revision cloud with a new portion defined by the points that you enter. 
Select Polyline
Specifies which revision cloud that you want to modify. The closest vertex to where you select the revision cloud determines the start of the section that you want to replace. 
Next Point
Specifies the next point to define the polygonal shape of the replacement section. This prompt repeats until you click an existing vertex in the revision cloud. 
Pick a Side to Erase
Removes the section of the revision cloud that you select. 
Reverse Direction
Inverts the arcs in the revision cloud between convex and concave.
