DesignSeries00004.pngCreating Project Revision and Issue History Reports

The Issue Manager creates reports with the sheet data, revision data, and issue data in the current file. The reports use information from the data records and record formats maintained by the title block border objects, and are compiled as worksheet resources. The worksheets are automatically updated whenever a new report is generated.

When the issue history and revision history reports are run, the name of the worksheet resource in the drawing file is automatically incremented with a suffix: “-1” if the report is all on one page, and a series of numbers (-1, -2, -3 and so on) for each page if the Create Pages/Multiple Worksheets option is selected. The sheet revision log has the suffix of the report run date.

The default worksheets have the following names and are available in the default content (Vectorworks Libraries\Defaults\Reports_Schedules\Architectural Reports.vwx).

    Title Block Project Issue History

    Title Block Project Revision History

    Sheet Revision Log

These worksheets can be customized (see Concept: Worksheet Overview) and saved into the user folder to be used for future reports.
