I want to cloud a data frame so that it looks like a cloud call out on a drawing. This is very similar to the CADD function called "Revision Cloud Tool".
Mapping Center Answer:
If you can create a feature that is in the shape of the cloud that you want, you can use that as a clipping extent for the data frame.
On the data frame properties dialog box, show the Data Frame tab, and just past half way down is a Clip to Shape option.
So, yes, this sort of thing is possible, but no, there is not an automatic way to just do it.
