Answer
Keith:
Sorry.
There is no way to force revcloud.lsp for AutoCAD 2000 to create an orthographic cloud.  

Here's the good news:
In the newest version of AutoCAD (actually 2004 and above) you can control the orthographics of the cloud.  You can even create a rectangle and convert it to a cloud.  However, it is not an EXPRESS TOOL anymore.  It is now an AutoCAD command.

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
