Inventor revision cloud
I'd like to see a native Inventor tool to draw a revision cloud on a drawing. I know about the DrawingTools add-in, but this tool often gets very slow (when you draw large clouds). I also would like the functionality to draw a rectangular shape (or any other shape) which will be converted to a cloud.
Basically the same revision cloud tool which is already in AutoCAD.
I promise I will have friends to pass the 300 votes today!
Only number of votes will raise the awareness of this topic.
By the way, we are in construction and fabrication and I need to install it on more than 100 computers in four different countries... but I got so used into do it as almost i included in a deployment...
Can we have Bernie mention Inventor Cloud? If his voters can have Adsk accounts and vote for Inv cloud, we promise we Inv Cloud Users will vote for him this year or in four / 8 years.
Agreed... though it is an understandable oversight since revisions are generally flagged and noted not clouded in most mechanical drafting standards it is something that is far overdue to come to Inventor.
This and some other customizable items like section marks etc would really bring Inventor even more advantage than it has currently in extending beyond being a manufacturing solution. In some ways it could compete with Revit and actually in my eyes Revit and Inventor should be blended into a single package. They barely communicate now!
I’ve given up on this. Autodesk must have a very good reason for not having a rev cloud tool in Inventor so I’ll do what I always do - find a work around.
Anybody ever watch the old Sci-fi movie from 1974, "Dark Star"? ...directed by John Carpenter.
The Captain is dead but able to communicate from suspended animation. The crew can't communicate with earth (or are being ignored?) They have a self-aware bomb capable of destroying an entire planet which is armed and ready to detonate attached to the ship.
Happiness is like a butterfly, The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, It will come and softly sit on your shoulder.

Let me know when the rev cloud has landed on my shoulder - I may not notice its presence.
I kind of hope that rev clouds never come, so that we can continue this thread until I'm old and in a nursing home. It will be something to keep me occupied. I guess I'll still be working on fiver doing CAD for $.50/hr.
I didn't think the fact that convoluted work arounds exist was the point of this request. The link below is a more reliable workaround than the current software, but it's not how I want to work.
