Is there a way to make the revision clouds look nicer meaning when you trace an area out from a revision.  On Autocad the archs of the cloud would be same size.

 

Im I missing a setting??

I know what you are saying. Sometimes if I need to make neat clouds, I add them to the pdf via Bluebeam. But of course that could bite you if you need to resubmit and you didn't remember what cloud you added manually to the pdf...

You probably could draw a neat cloud using spline line and then explode it, and put into your system library.   It would function just like the out of the box cloud that comes with softplan

I never liked the ones that are in SoftPlan so I tend to add it right in the PDF with Adobe Reader which has revisions clouds in their shape tools. Plus it is also nice since I print all of my drawings in black and white to PDF in Adobe Reader the clouds can be red for noticing the changes better when emailed around.

I'm on this train as well.... I hate using the SP clouds, the arcs are WAY to large, and I've yet to find a way to edit it...

 

SP, can you write in a way to edit the arcs of the cloud for 2020 and put it in patch for us?

 

Also not a fan of the cloud label.

The way that Adobe Reader does it is that there is an actual Linetype for the arcs of the Revisions Cloud. Which basically means that you can use regular shapes like a Rectangle or Polygon and then change the Linetype to the Revision Cloud style and it keeps the arches very nice and neat even with weird Polygon shapes.
