Clouding revisions on drawings
(OP)
If all you change are some CAD errors, lets say direction of a section cut, do you cloud the drawings?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Clouding revisions on drawings
If you also issue a narrative along with the drawings, you can add to your narrative the drafting corrections, but only cloud your cost changes on the construction documents.
Sometimes we cloud drawings during plan check to assist the plan check engineer. I find that request time consuming and annoying as this is not the intent of clouding. It adds more drafting time as well.. and then all clouds have to be removed after bid.
Sometimes, the project is bid before plan check is complete. Then it becomes a nightmare clouding changes for the contractor versus changes as part of a plan check comment (which may not have cost impact)
Anyway, that's my opinion!

I would say in this case, if there were simply a notation that "Section arrow was reversed", that would cover it, cloud or no cloud.
My drawings aren't bid drawings, they're shop drawings, but the clouds always stay there until the next revision, if any. I put clouds in paper space, the drawing is all in model space, so they're quick and easy to erase.
