Hello, I understand this method, but the radius of the cloud lines generated this way is inconsistent, even when the Minimum/Maximum arc length is adjusted to the same value. Also, if I want to generate a rectangular cloud line, I need to mark points multiple times to ensure the cloud line closely resembles a rectangle. I currently have a plugin that can create rectangular cloud lines, but I want to avoid being limited to rectangles. I want to be able to create cloud lines with equal arc lengths as long as a closed polygon is recognized in the sketch.

I'm not sure which version of Inventor you use. But in Inventor 2024 the "Revision Clouds" feature was introduced.

It appears to respect the minimum and maximum radii.
