Annotative Revision Cloud

[robinsonmd]

I need a simple revision cloud routine the same as revcloud that is build into AutoCAD but takes advantage of the annotation scale to multiply the arc length.

Attached is a lisp I created a couple of weeks ago. It looks at the cannoscalevalue to decide what the arc length should be. It works great you can now go from model space to paperspace and not have to reset your arc length.

Thank you,

This is exactly what I need to get the standard revcloud command to work with the annotation scale.

How do you get this to work with the ACAD revcloud command?

I use a macro and custom button.
^C^C-LAYER;M;MEREVISION;C;4;;^C^C(LOAD"H:/CAD/LISP/REVCLOUD08")
This macro creates a layer called MEREVISION color 4. Then loads and runs the the lisp.

Any idea why this works fine in AutoCAD 2011, but wont work in 2012?

James,
It does work with AutoCAD 2012, I've been using it on this release since yearlier this year. What issue or error are you running into?

I finally got around to installing my update last night, and when I run the macro, it just gives me a "(Load E:" at the command prompt. i have to then hit esc to cancel out of the command. Not sure what the issue is. The macro creates the layer and makes it current but gets hung up at the point it needs to load the REVCLOUD08.lsp

What does your macro look like? Did you close the quote?

^C^C(LOAD"E:\AutoCAD\LISP\REVISION CLOUD\REVCLOUD08")

That is a direct copy/paste from the CUI. I did remove the layer control, and it worked fine until I upgraded my AutoCAD from 2011 to 2012. Baffles me..

I still wish there was an actual annotative revision cloud. drives me crazy when I have a viewport with a huge cloud portion cutting through it from a different view lol
