A revision cloud is used on drawings to show the alterations that have been made since last issue of the drawing. It looks like a cloud, actually. See the attached sketch. It shows that a dimension has been altered.

For this I would recommend you to create a ditto or several depending if you want different shapes. If I'm not mistaken a ditto can be scaled when inserted so you can cover the area wanted.

To Azrael:
Now, you must explain to me what 'a ditto' is.
I have considered to make a linetype made of semicircles, draw a spline and then assign the linetype to it hoping that it will look like a revision cloud.

1-Create new drawing
2-Add detail view (not standard view)
3-Create the shape you desire with wireframe tools, note that the axis will be used as placement reference later
4-Save as .catalog
If you need more shapes then repeat steps 2 through 4
To use it use the from catalog (think it's called like that) and choose your catalog and finally the ditto and place it on the drawing.

To everybody:
We experimented with using a spline and a newly created linetype consisting of semicircles and actually succeeded quite well. It is not perfect, but for the time being it suits our needs.
Thanks to everybody for their answers!!
