Yes, we do want to add a simple Cloud tool but at this stage we can't project when that might be (we never publish future development or release dates).However, there is, today, a very simple way to create a Cloud object that can be used in any drawings, for example;Begin with an Arc with, say, a start angle of 225 and a sweep angle of 90.Copy and use rightclick Paste Array to build one side of the Cloud object with, say, 20 copies of the arc. Group the arcs.Copy and paste 3 duplicates of the group and rotate & move these to build a square Cloud.Export as DWG, saving to a custom Symbol folder (see the movie "Customizing the Symbol Browser", #23 at https://www1.stardraw.com/stardraw2/sd7/movies)Now you can use this Cloud in any drawings, simply by dragging it in from the Symbol Browser, and resizing it to be the appropriate size and shape (change Handle Behavior, in the Properties Grid, from "Move" to "Resize").I hope this provides a good interim solution until a freeform Cloud tool becomes available.Thaks RobHeres another one, can you add the arch tool to the schematic page. Its really handy fo showing patch cables as opposed to installed cables
