frostrap Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello all, I'm having a problem with revcloud. When I go to draw a cloud it only draws a single point and ends the command. Has this happened to anyone else here? I'm still able to convert polylines and other objects to revclouds using the command, but drawing one freehand doesn't work at all. Any ideas? Thanks, JOe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullseye74 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Whats your arc length set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrap Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 The min and max are set to 1/2". It seems to work sometimes in paperspace, but doesn't work in modelspace at all (unload converting an object to a revcloud) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Keep in mind that 1/2" in modelspace versus paperspace will not have the same arc. You will need to change the arc size depending which layout you're in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flem snopes Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm having the exact same problem in ACad 2005. Also, I've jiggered the dimscale, min and max arc length to no avail. Help! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrap Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 yeah, I'm aware of the scale difference between paper and model space, and have experimented with a number of different min and max arc lengths. Regardless of that I should still be able to draw the cloud. We have a number of custom lisps being used here... it could be that one of them is setting a variable that is interfering with revcloud, but I'm not sure which variable that might be. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullseye74 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 hmmm have you tried drawing a rectangle or other and turning it into cloud? when you select rev cloud right click and select object. just an idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, frostrap said he'd done that in his original post. I've done it, too, but it's much more convenient to just drag the cursor around. And it should work that way!

Thanks, JOe Type CMDECHO on the command line. Change the value to 0. That should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrap Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I tried changing the echo variable like you suggest but it didn't work. Typically I leave CMDECHO set at 1 unless I have a lisp routine that requires cad to turn echoing off. it sounds like this problem has happened to a few other people... it's probably caused by something simple, I just can't figure out what it could be.

rkent Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 To help trouble shoot the problem turn off SNAP, OSNAPs, OTRACK. Do you still have the problem? Check at Autodesk's knowledge base as this has come up fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flem snopes Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Nothing I'd tried worked until today. I went to the AutoCad updates 2005 page and installed the latest service pack and a couple of other updates. Voila! Revcloud works as designed. Note: Our AutoCad 2008 installation never had the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
