Revision Cloud

amo · 29 Jan 2015, 16:40

I need/want to have a scalable revision cloud option. I want to be able to bring it in and then resize it and have the half circles to stay one size but have more of them added as the size grows. Anyone know if this is available or of how to make it happen? I want to be able to do this in LayOut because we have other line work associated with our rev clouds for the construction documents. We have been doing the rev clouds in Adobe but it really is a bad way of making them.

Revision Clouds are currently dealt with by using scrapbook objects.

Krisidious has such a scrapbook here:

I use them all the time, and it serves my purposes.

Thanks, for that some of the scrapbook pages look good. The clouds are not "uniform" enough for the work we do. It is great they are there, but I am needing something more along the lines of how AutoCAD rev clouds look. I want to be able to make one rev cloud and then resize it to lets say 3 times as large and have the half circles get added as it gets scaled. The half circles stay the same radius but more are added. Making all different sizes of rev clouds is more time spent and might not be best for all situations. But thanks for that link.

+1 on the revision cloud. It would be great to have customization. Possibly a tool that links arcs along a path, then when closed options for the revision tag, placement and number. The scrapbook method does not work well for really defined revisions that need to be clouded around notes, objects etc.

Totally agree.
