Creates or modifies a revision cloud.
Find
You can create a new revision cloud by selecting two corner points or polygonal points, dragging your cursor, or you can convert an object such as a circle, polyline, spline, or an ellipse into a revision cloud. Use revision clouds to highlight parts of a drawing that are being reviewed.
Note: REVCLOUD stores the last used arc length in the system registry. This value is multiplied by DIMSCALE to provide consistency when the program is used with drawings with different scale factors.
You can redefine an existing revision cloud by drawing a cloud to it. When prompted to select a side to erase, a preview of the resulting revision cloud is displayed.
