How to Quickly Add Revision Triangles & Clouds in PlanForm?

In engineering drawings, revision triangles and revision clouds are essential tools for managing changes and ensuring clear communication among engineers, designers, and manufacturers. By using revision triangles and clouds, engineers ensure that modifications are properly tracked, reducing errors and improving workflow efficiency in manufacturing, construction, or product development.

Revision Triangle: Each revision triangle is typically accompanied by a revision number or letter, linking to a revision table that explains the change. Engineers can immediately spot where modifications have been made without scanning the entire drawing.

Revision Cloud: The cloud-shaped outline clearly marks altered regions, making changes stand out. Ensures that no one misses critical updates, especially in complex drawings with multiple revisions. Help teams quickly review and approve changes during quality checks or manufacturing.

1. Adding a Revision Triangle

Step 1: Open your drawing in PlanForm.

Step 2: Navigate to the “Sequence” toolbar.

Step 3: Input the numerical revision value in the 'Start' field. Any letters or text added in the 'Prefix' or 'Suffix' fields will automatically combine with and display alongside the revision number in the drawing.

Step 4: Select the ‘Triangle’ at the Border Shape, the triangle will appear with a linked revision number.

Step 5: Select Lead line Style and click on ‘Start’ to add the revision triangle.

2. Adding a Revision Cloud

Step 1: Go to the "Markup" tab.

Step 2: Choose the "Cloud" tool under the drop-down options.

Step 3: Draw around the modified area, PlanForm will generate a cloud-shaped outline.
