AutoCAD 2007/2008/2009 DWG Format

[#1]

According to the Help Index, typing REVCLOUD at the command prompt should yield [Arc Length/Object/Style] and enable me to convert a polyline to a revcloud.

When I type REVCLOUD, I get [DS> Angle/Length/] which only allows me to create a revcloud by tracing. I have never been able to convert a polyline to a revcloud. How do I change my settings so that I can convert a polyline to a revcloud.

[#2]

Try typing "object" or "O" at the prompt. Some are hidden.

[#3]

I think you are getting the Dotsoft or Toolpac revdate command.

here I get

Command: revcloud

Initializing... REVCLOUD loaded.

Select a polyline:

which I thought was the vanilla acad routine but looking at HELP the
command line should say:

Specify start point or [Arc length/Object/Style]

[#5]

Be careful putting revclouds on drawings... you never know how they may be interpretted!

thanks for that, cheered me up no end

type .REVCLOUD (note the period), that should give you the core command to
use, as described in Help.

When I want to change something with the Options I get an error:

unable to load dialog.

See screen shot attached.

Thanks for your input.

Reinstall AutoCAD may be the fix if you can't get OPTIONS to open.
