Design SuiteAdding and editing drawing revisions

Revisions can be added to a drawing file, and existing revisions can be edited, from the Title block border settings: Revision Data pane or from the Revision Data pane of the Title Block Manager. Adding revisions from the Title Block Manager dialog box allows you to select which layers the revision applies to, and to add layers located in other files to the revision; this can help to coordinate large projects.

To add or edit a revision:

If the revision applies to only a specific layer, make that the active layer.

Do one of the following:

To add/edit the revision on only a single layer, click on the title block border object, and then click Title Block Border Settings from the Object Info palette to open the Title Block Border Settings dialog box. Select the Revision Data pane from the list on the left.

To add/edit a revision on multiple layers simultaneously, select File > Title Block Manager. Click Select Sheets to Use and select the sheets (see Title Block Manager). Click the Revision Data pane from the list on the left.

To add a revision, click Add, or to edit one or more existing revisions, select the revisions from the list and click Edit.

The Add New Revision or Edit Existing Revision dialog box opens. Enter the parameters.

Alternatively, click a line item, and then click the icon to the right of the column to edit text fields directly in the list browser; the number cannot be edited if Numbering is set to Auto-Increment in the Document Options pane.
