Arc Lengths for Revision Clouds

neil_mckenzie6W254 — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 23:35:03 GMT

Hi,

Just wanting to find out how to edit the arc lengths for Revision Clouds in Inventor 2024. Is this possible? I can create revision clouds and edit the sketch to change the overall cloud shape, but cant find a way to change the size of the arcs. I am trying to rev cloud small dimensions and the arc size is just too big. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Use right-mouse-button then add more vertices to your cloud:

You don't need to edit the sketch, because just adding more points is the easiest way to half the arc lengths, etc. Example:

BEFORE

AFTER (added one more vertice per line)

Following. I'm running Inventor 2024.

Why is the Rev Cloud not the same as it is in AutoCAD? You should be able to adjust the Arc Size in a Default, or at least modify them after they've been created. In my examples below, you can see the sketch in the second attachment. The Rev Clouds need to be encompassing just the one line of text *in between* the others. I need that sketch to have horizontal and vertical lines, and if I start adding vertices, it will be all over the place.

I agree! It's such a hassle. it's like they intentionally do not want to make it look clean.

Hey, any developers at @autodesk willing to throw us an "Orhto Mode" for creating a Revision Cloud in the next 2026 Update???
