Revision Cloud

Revision Cloud

(OP)

my problem is, when i pick my first point and i circle around my revision it usually snaps right where i started but now i circle around the rev. and it keeps on going and won't snap back to the beginning.
Any suggestions?

RE: Revision Cloud

Copy the original revision cloud files back over to your main support files, and erase the old revision cloud files.

If you need the names of the files, I can give them to you,
just email.

This is the best, easiest, and fastest way to deal with this
problem.

RE: Revision Cloud

The way the revision cloud command works is that it stores the fist point you pick as a variable.  Then it tracks where your mouse cursor is and when it gets to close to the first point it automatically closes the polyline arc.

The trick is you can increase the fudge factor of the closure by changing the  DIMSCALE variable.  It is really hard when you are zoomed out far to get within 1 inch of the start point.

What I have done is written a lisp routine to set the scale to 12 have the user draw the cloud then DIMSCALE back to 1.
