Revision Cloud

[sparkyuk]

I don't know what to enter in the command line to get the right size arcs its very very small right now, could someone explain what to type in the command line ? please

I am drawing at 1-1 in mm in model

After you start the command watch the command line for prompts - I think you enter "A" to set the arc lengths. Follow the prompts on the command line.

yes i have done that, what i dont know is what figures to enter im putting a cloud around a light fitting that is 1500mm long so it needs to show around it, at the moment the arcs are far to small to be seen ?

If the arcs are too small, try a larger arc length...

Thanks played with the arc figures and got it right as it was set at 0.5000 it was way to small tried 200min/max and that works fine, thanks for your help

its often worth trying a figure 25 times bigger when built in functions don't work. 0.5" is quite large, 0,5mm isn't.

 

When AutoCAD first included a revision cloud routine I couldn't get it to close. It was looking for you to click within 1/8 units of the start of the cloud - but not ON the start. Great in imperial but 0,125mm was just a bit too small. (I wrote my own routine which we still use)
