Revision clouds - colors

just curious if this can be done.

Lately, I have been changing the color of my revision clouds to red just so that they can stand out.   Since I can add a subcategory in Annotation Objects/Revision Clouds i.e.  Rev1, Rev2, etc. and change the lineweights and colors, I was wondering how (if possible) to assign/modify a revision cloud either per revision or per element to 'Rev1', 'Rev2'?

Sure. Right-Click on one, Override Graphic in View=>By Element.

Poster 1 is correct, but this is time consuming and it leaves room for human error. For those that want to change all of the Revision clouds in their model in one go (not sure if this can be done per revision):

 

Go to The Manage Tab - Object Styles - Annotation Objects - Scroll down to Revision Clouds - Click on line color - Change to desired Color - Apply

Just make sure you BIM Manager is aware that you are changing global parameters within the model.

Interestingly someone just posted an idea the other day about this that I replied to with my thoughts on how this could be addressed.

It would be nice if you could set revision linetypes to each revision by default or change them individually without using the "override graphics in view".
