Revision Cloud Enhancements

Revision clouds now include a single value for their approximate arc chord lengths, the distance between the endpoints of each arc segment.

The first time a revision cloud is created in a drawing, the size of the arcs are determined based on percentage the diagonal length of the current view. This ensures that the revision cloud starts at a reasonable size.

You can change the arc chord length of a selected revcloud object either in the Properties Inspector palette, from its shortcut menu, or with the new REVCLOUDPROPERTIES command. You can control whether the chord lengths of the arcs vary or are uniform with the REVCLOUDARCVARIANCE system variable.

When a revision cloud object is selected, the Properties Inspector palette now displays Revcloud as the object type instead of Polyline. Revclouds are still basically polylines, but they have an additional arc property and the option to switch between grip styles (REVCLOUDGRIPS system variable).

REVCLOUDPROPERTIES - Controls the approximate chord-length for the arcs in a selected revision cloud.

New System Variable

REVCLOUDARCVARIANCE - Controls whether revcloud arcs are created with varying or uniform chord lengths.
