Creating advanced AutoCAD objects - Modify revision clouds in an AutoCAD drawing

Now that we've created revision clouds,

00:06

let's go through some of the commands and options for them.

00:11

The first command that we'll talk about is called

00:16

rev

00:17

cloud

00:20

properties.

00:22

This command allows you to modify the arc length of each revision cloud

00:27

to access this.

00:29

You can type in rev cloud properties

00:32

or right click

00:33

and choose rev cloud arc length. After selecting a rev cloud

00:38

or you can go into the properties palette

00:40

after selecting the revision cloud as well.

00:48

Notice I can click on the screen

00:50

to specify arc lengths and just like that the entire revision cloud has been edited.

00:56

new system variable for revision clouds is the rev cloud variance variable.

01:06

This variable controls whether or not revision cloud arcs are

01:10

created with varying chord lengths or the same chord lengths.

01:14

setting of one

01:16

turns it on

01:17

and a setting of zero turns it off.

01:20

The main intent of having this setting on is that the appearance

01:24

of the revision cloud will be more like a hand drawn effect.

01:31

Rev cloud

01:34

grips changes the options that you have

01:37

for editing the revision clouds using grips.

01:41

When this variable is turned off,

01:43

the grips can be used to change the individual arc lengths of the revision cloud.

01:49

You'll see that when this variable is turned on,

01:53

there are fewer grips available

01:55

and individual arcs are not accessible.

01:59

In both cases, you'll notice a similarity between these grips.

02:05

So when we click on a revision cloud,

02:08

you can see the grips available

02:12

with rev cloud grips turned on.

02:17

If we turn it off,

02:20

you'll see that there are more grips available for the individual arc lengths.

02:27

Finally, let's look at the modify command line option for revision clouds.

02:32

If we start the rev cloud command,

02:38

we can go and select the modify option from the command line

02:42

and notice it says select Polyline to modify.

02:49

We select a revision cloud and at the command line prompt,

02:52

you are then prompted to select the next point in

02:55

this mode.

02:57

You are creating a new section of revision Cloud.

03:05

Continue to click points,

03:08

pick a side to a race.

03:11

You can reverse direction

03:13

and notice

03:14

it reverses the direction of the entire cloud.

03:17

If we want to get it back

03:19

to what we had before,

03:22

go back to the revision cloud command.

03:25

Choose modify,

03:28

select the revision cloud,

03:32

some more points,

03:35

pick a side to a race,

03:38

say reverse direction.

03:40

And our revision cloud has been changed to how it was before.
