Methods to create a revision cloud

This command has 4 methods to begin creating a revision cloud:

  • 矩形
  • Polygonal
  • 徒手画
  • 实体
矩形
Begin creating a rectangular revision cloud by specifying a corner of the rectangle then:
Additional options: [Arc length/Entity/Rectangular/Polygonal/Freehand/Style]
指定对角点
Specify the opposite corner of the rectangle. The revision cloud is drawn parallel to the x and y axes.
Polygonal
Begin creating a polygonal revision cloud by specifying a vertex of the polygon then:
Additional options: [Arc length/Entity/Rectangular/Polygonal/Freehand/Style]
指定下一点
Specify the next point of the polygon.
You can continue adding unlimited vertices until you press Enter to end the command.
Additional option: [Undo]
徒手画
Begin creating a freehand revision cloud by specifying a start point then:
Additional options: [Arc length/Entity/Rectangular/Polygonal/Freehand/Style]
沿云形路径导引十词光标...
Drag the cursor to add revision cloud segments. Continue adding segments until you:
Pass the cursor over the start point to create a closed revision cloud.
  1. Closed revcloud
Or
Right-click to create an open revision cloud then:
Reverse direction [Yes/No]
Specify whether you want to change the direction of the revision cloud.
  • Yes: the direction of the arc segments is reversed.
  • No: the direction of the arc segment is retained.

  1. 起点
  2. Reversed
实体
Begin creating a revision cloud by selecting an existing entity to convert to a revision cloud then:
Reverse direction [Yes/No]
Specify whether you want to change the direction of the revision cloud.
  • Yes: the direction of the arc segments is reversed.
  • No: the direction of the arc segment is retained.

Options within the REVCLOUD command

After you begin creating a revision cloud, the following options may be available.

弧长

Specify minimum length of arc
Specify the minimum length of the arcs.
The minimum arc length is stored in the REVCLOUDMINARCLENGTH system variable.
Specify maximum length of arc
Specify the maximum length of the arcs.
The minimum arc length is stored in the REVCLOUDMAXARCLENGTH system variable.
  1. Minimum arc length
  2. Maximum arc length
样式
Specify the arc style to use for the revision cloud.
  • Normal: the polyline making up the cloud has a uniform width.
  • Calligraphy: the polyline has a varying width (tapered polyarcs) to simulate a calligraphic look.
  1. Calligraphic style
The arc style is stored in the REVCLOUDARCSTYLE system variable.
撤销(U)
