How to make a Revcloud in Python for AutoCAD

 

There isn’t a “revcloud” entity type in Autocad, but you can make one with a polyline and enlisting the help of send command.  Here’s the sample code

 

import traceback

import PyRx as Rx

import PyGe as Ge

import PyGi as Gi

import PyDb as Db

import PyAp as Ap

import PyEd as Ed

import AxApp24 as Ax

def PyRxCmd_doit() -> None:

    try:

        # get the app, doc and model space

        axApp = Ax.getApp()

        doc = axApp.ActiveDocument

        ms = doc.ModelSpace

        # coords for the cloud and create a polyline

        coords = [0, 0, 0, 0, 1000, 0, 1000, 1000, 0, 1000, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

        pl = ms.AddPolyline(coords)

       

        #use send command to create the revcloud, note the (A)arc length

        handle = '(handent "{}")'.format(pl.Handle)

        doc.SendCommand("revcloud A {} Object {} Y ".format(200, handle))

    except Exception as err:

        traceback.print_exception(err)

 

And the result:
