Revision Clouds

[WERDNA]

My clouds can be a bit untidy at times, ultimately I would like neat square and rectangle shaped clouds, can anyone offer some tips?

In newer versions of AutoCAD the REVCLOUD command had an option named Object which allow you to convert a closed polyline (i.e. a rectangle) to a revison cloud. Please check if this is available in your version.

Thanks Mircea

Also note there is an alternative style that I like to use called Calligraphy.

 

Command: [b][color=red]revcloud[/color][/b]
Minimum arc length: 1/4"   Maximum arc length: 1/4"   Style: Calligraphy
Specify start point or [Arc length/Object/Style] <Object>: [b][color=red]S[/color][/b]
Select arc style [Normal/Calligraphy] <Calligraphy>:[b][color=red]C[/color][/b]
Arc style = Calligraphy

Nice one, thanks, wish I had asked the question a long time ago.

I like to set the min and max arc length to two different values and use the object option, then start it again and use the object option again and pick the revcloud that was just created. It gives it a more random look that I prefer.

That's inspired rkent! I really enjoy drawing revclouds, but I also like how the object option does them, that is a nice compromise.
