Drawing Clouds
A cloud is a specialized irregular polygon that allows you to call attention to
specific areas of a drawing. AutoSketch creates a cloud by connecting the
vertices with bulged polyline segments. In operation, it is very similar to the
Draw menu’s irregular polygon command.
As you draw a cloud, a text box for the segment width and bulge factor
appear on the edit bar.
Vertex editing allows you to change the shape of an existing cloud, and to
add or delete vertices. For information on vertex editing, see the chapter
titled “Reshaping Entities,” which begins on page 299.
Tools for drawing polygons can be accessed from the Draw menu or the
Polygon toolset on the All-In-One toolbar. You can also activate the Polygon
toolbar (which contains the same commands but can be docked anywhere
on screen) by right-clicking a bar, then clicking Toolbars on the pop-up menu
that appears. Just check the Polygon check box in the Toolbars dialog box,
then click OK to make the Polygon toolbar visible on screen.
