chulse Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyuk Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 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 ?

lpseifert Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If the arcs are too small, try a larger arc length... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyuk Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
