    Default Old RevCloud cmd

    Does anyone have the old Rev Cloud lisp? I am looking for the one with the caligraphy setting that draws really neat rectangular rev clouds by picking 2 corners on the page.

    I had it but now I cannot find it in all my old files.

    You could create a rectangle first, then use the normal RevCloud's option for Object & pick the rectangle.

    My Options won't work. I think I need the old one too. Where can I find it?
    I get an error:
    See attachment.

    Have you tried the coomand "menuload"?
    You should be able to see the "express".
    If not, possibly you haven't installed the "expresstools".

    Then insert your autocad media, and select "add features".
    Hope this helps.

    I'm not sure what "dialog" box you're referring to. I've just checked, even Architecture 2013 has the command-line only version of RevCloud. E.g. here's the command-line "options"
    Code:
    Command: REVCLOUD
    
    Minimum arc length: 500.0000   Maximum arc length: 500.0000   Style: Normal
    Specify start point or [Arc length/Object/Style] <Object>: s
    
    Select arc style [Normal/Calligraphy] <Normal>:c
    Calligraphy
    Specify start point or [Arc length/Object/Style] <Object>: o
    
    Select object:
    Reverse direction [Yes/No] <No>:
    
    Revision cloud finished.
    And no it's not an Express Tool in this version. It's built-in.

    This is the one with the Options choice that's not working.
    I had this same issue last year but can't find the results as to what i did to fix it.
    I don't know what's missing or goin on.
    Thanks

    I assume based on your signature you are using "Autodesk Plant 3D Premium 2012"?

    I don't know anything about that, but in vanilla AutoCAD 2012, "REVCLOUD" is OOTB command line only.

    Unless you had some 3rd party program/lisp or something that you used in the past?

    See thescreenshot attached.
    The revcloud toobar is in "modify" fly in AutoCAD (plain version).

    Also noticed it's "strange" over here. The help states it should be in the Home ribbon-tab, on the Draw panel. Though in ACA 2013 I find it on the Home/Annotation panel instead. But that button starts this command
    Code:
    Command: _AecAnnoRevisionCloudAdd
    Adding:
    Specify cloud starting point or [Symbol block/pline Color/Arc length/pline Width]:
    Cloud will close when returned to start point...
    Guide crosshairs along cloud path (counter-clockwise)
    It doesn't add calligraphy. Typing RevClound at the command prompt starts the normal one. I've actually added a PGP shortcut of RV to this one - tend to use the toolbars/ribbon extremely little (I'm a keyboard junkie, even in Revit, just makes for a lot more efficiency).
