Acad "Bonus Utilities"

[billneo]

Just started using AutoCAD 2006.

I am trying to find an easy way to draw clouds. In the older versions of Acad there used to be a unsanctioned Bonus Utilities that created a toolbar with a cloud icon.

Is this available in the 06 version.

"_recloud"?

ADT 2004
ACAD 2002

Ohha,

Just double checking. Did you install AutoCAD with ExpressTools or without?

@borgunit,

I think "_revcloud" is a command of ACAD since 2006
Maybe billneo can inform us...

Oh, thanks exxit. I never use the command so I guess I was unaware it was built in now.

Another thing that we've found that is built into 2006, with "_revcloud" you can tell it to turn an object into a cloud. Works with most shapes from single lines to ellipse, open and closed polyines, etc. Sometimes that is much cleaner than trying to run the rev cloud around by itself.
