- [Instructor] Creating a revision cloud can be very handy
when you're trying to do markup on a drawing,
specifically if you work for quality control,
or if you want to expressly identify something
for quality, or an inspection team.
Or an engineer who has to do updates to this drawing.
Really easy tool, just go up to insert, annotation,
and then you find revision cloud
down here in the bottom of the annotations group,
click on it, not a lot of options here.
So the first one and probably secondary one
that you'll really need is the arc radius.
So for some reason,
the arc that you're getting out of the revision cloud
isn't to your liking,
you can adjust this here.
I'm going to make it a nice round five millimeters.
The main primary thing that you're going to edit
is what shape you have.
You can do rectangular,
elliptical, irregular polygon, or free hand.
So you can see that my icon has converted this
to show that little revision cloud.
If I just left mouse button click and drag,
I can actually see that rectangle being formed
but around it the revision cloud is being created.
And once that's created,
I can go down here and change the line color,
maybe change it to red,
click okay.
And now I've got a nice revision cloud here
that stands out really, really well.
They have a couple different kinds as well.
So I'll just show you the free hand one really quick.
So if we go to annotations and revision cloud again,
we can select free hand,
and just start drawing one way or another,
and bring it back together to create a custom cloud.
Now you can see
I went a little bit too wild with my free hand,
but wherever you do drop it'll drag it back,
and connect it back to where it started.
Again, I like to keep the line format toolbar open
while that's still selected,
change the line color and make it red.
So it really stands out,
and everybody can see it on your drawing.
You can also adjust the line weight as well if you need to,
but you do that right inside of here of your line style,
so you can unclick the use document display,
and change the line, or the thickness.
Always remember though once you've created
this revision cloud,
to go up here and note in your revision table
somehow that this needs to be done,
or, you know, with some other ECO or ECR documentation
that follows along with it.
