Tip 2255: Revision Mark-ups Ferdinand Gawat submitted the Revision Mark-ups utility, which contains two tools for marking revisions on your drawing. The first tool is a new command named RCloud for drawing revision clouds around notes or part of a drawing. The other tool is a command function named RDelta for inserting the revision number with a triangle around it. To use these command functions, just load the LSP file for the tip and type the names in AutoCAD. RCloud defines a revision cloud in a counterclockwise direction. When the cloud is defined, it will be placed on a layer named Rev along with the revision number, then -Cloud. The delta mark and number are drawn on layer Rev along with the revision number, then -Delta. The text height and arc length values are set in the program code with comments that make it easy for users to find and change them to their own preferences. This program is a very nice example for those learning about more advanced drawing with LISP. |
