AutoCAD Inventor :: Drawing Revision Control
Oct 29, 2013
I create all of the shop drawings for our company and I'm trying to find out the best way to track revised drawings. A lot of times I create a drawing and there are several revisions. The shop works off of a high res. pdf I print for them and we also have a signed version from the customer. Once in a while the shop gets their hands on an earlier revision and builds from it. The signed version from the customer is crappy at best and sometimes faxed so working from it is useless.
I have a space where I can manually enter the REVISION # on the drawing but sometimes I forget to update it. If I use an automated timestamp <timestamp> for the drawing with date and time (I've seen this done) or some iLogic code, would this show when the document is printed, opened or saved?

Is there a way to have a lowercase revision number in a drawing (in fact, it's not really a number but a character).
All I can set is uppercase format or numbers.

how to access the drawing sheet revisions using Ilogic.My company is wanting to start making the default initial rev on a drawing a "-" and inventor does not like to keep this when brought in as a template.
So like normal I am trying to trick it into having the dash until a rev is actually added.

I am trying to create some new templates for 2013 and I'm trying to figure a way to get the model revision number to populate into the drawing's iproperty revision number so that they will match upon save. I'm trying to do this by creating an ilogic rule but I don't see a system property in the idw that will allow me to access the 3D model iprops. I am going to Event Trigger the rule to run Before Save. Is this possible?
On the drawing border I have created a formatted text box that is built as:
Type: Properties - Model
Property: Revision Number
It simply pulls the data from the models revision number and populates the text box. I need this same thing to happen but rather than populate into a text box I need it to populate into the drawings revision number iprop.

Is there a way to pin or standardize where a revision table is located in a drawing?
I have a title-block set up and would like a revision table either embedded or populated upon command, just above my title-block. It would also need to extend upward with additional revisions...

I'm creating a small product configurator using ilogic. It all works fine, but i've i challenge:controlling the visibility of the components in a drawing view
In simple words, every occurrence of my assembly has an custom Ipropertie calles "Positie". there where 4 values (Bodem, Zij, Kop, Deksel and Overig)In a drawing view i only want to see the parts that has a specific value of the ipropertie "Positie".I found a sample code for VBA, but I cann't get it worked in ilogic.:
Sub HideSecond()
'Assumes you have an open drawing
'Assumes that view 1 of the active sheet is an assembly
'Turns off visibility of assembly's second component in open drawing's first view
[code]....
hind to turn this into ilogic and add the option to check the ipropertie to turn on the visibility

is there any way using iLogic or other method to automatically control the size of the 'break' in a drawing view? I have built a model which uses iLogic to control virtually everything, however the large variations in the length of the product mean that there are some interesting results when it comes to the broken drawing views updating.
it would be nice to locate the break at the absolute center of the view and then size it as a percentage of the view size along one axis or perhaps according to some other length based rule.

What is the best way to change a large number of file names from Rev A to Rev B? Should I use a program such as Lupas rename or is there a Script or Lisp routine that would work better?

I am using the sheet list table to generate a table of contents. I add the "Drawing Revision Number" column to the table, but when it generates the list it does not include the field.
Is there any way to add the "Sheet Revision Number" instead since this is what property is actually adjusted in the sheet's properties? (i never change the "Drawing Revision Number")
OR is the solution to change the "Drawing Revision Number"? Where do I change this property at? Is this property applied to all sheets within a drawing?

i have a drawing boarder that is a block with enter-able text fields for drawing revision etc but for some reason the order in which you would enter the rev's 1,2,3, etc is the wrong way round in the enhanced attribute box. So when i click and start typing i end up with 3,2,1 in the rev boxes.

ideas on Drawing Revision Table / Record on Title Blocks that they would share?We are re-designing our Title Blocks and I was wondering if there was a different or better way of doing this, besides a static block with attributes.

I have three rules in our stamp to the revision date and revision number to fill in.
Along our project number should include the revision letter stand out with the latest date.
Now I would like to see if the date entered by the revision number and revision letter that the letter therefore become filled in along the project number.
If the next date is fill in with the letter, that letter must be completed along the project number The dates and letters are "Prompted Entry" or do i need other properties.
Can this be done with iLogic?
Youre drawings are as good as the symbols that compleet them.....

Is there a workaround to delete the last revision row with the edit icon (I've put in by mistake and would like to remove)According to Autodesk HELP:
"Note:The active row is always the most recently added row to the revision table. It is denoted by an edit icon and cannot be deleted."

We revise multiple items on a drawing at the same time. When we do this we add a number next to the revision letter to reference in the revision block. For example if we are on rev B and we revise 3 items we would need tags that say B1, B2, B3. We can edit the tags to reflect this, but I was wondering if there is any way to get the tags to do this automatically without using code.

I'm simply trying to delete the revision table if it exists on a drawing. I did find where you can't do anything with Rev Tags with the API, but what about the Actual Revision Table?
Trying to get this to work;
If iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")>0Dim oRevTable as RevisionTableoRevTable = ActiveSheet.Sheet.RevisionTable.Item(1) oRevTable = nullRevisionTable

I have a question about the revision tag. It's seam that we can not change the size of the balloon or Triangle. But we can use a user symbol. But we can make this choice only after placing the tag. see picture.
My question is : It is possible to make this choice in the stylelibrary ?

I have never attempted any i-logic before and this may be running before I can walk, but I was wondering if this premise even sounded do-able. I would like to create a rule to set the last row of my revision table to all static values, and then add a row.

I'm trying to write a routine to work with a non vault revision table. I'm working with Vb .net & Inventor 2012. I am working with sheet scope tables.
From the inventor dialogue box there are two commands to add rows to the table.The insert row command. Which inserts a row in the table.
The add row command which inserts a row set the sheet revision property & sets the new row active.
I have tried to insert a new row with the following code & make it active but this does not work. Is is possible to create a new active row through the api? The new row gets added but cannot get the new row to become the active row.
dim new_row as RevisionTableRow
new_row = revtable.RevisionTableRows.AddCustom(table_length -blank_rows) ' This works as expected.
new_row.IsActiveRow = True ' this has no effect.

I'm looking at a way to reduce the size of the revision tag in inventor, cause its size doesnt fit in our drawings, we have the habit to put as much info as possible on the sheets but when we get a revision the tag is too big..
Is this possible?

Anyway to change the Offset from the out of the revision tag/box edge to the edge of the text instead of leaving such a large gap I want to make it smaller less obtrusive(smaller) and I have tried changing the text size but it doesn't change the offset it changes the text size to small but the outline still remains the same size , I cannot find a location to make a new style that also ties to the revision annotation table in the drawing , I have attached a sample for you to look at what I am trying to change.

The revision Number in the assembly drawing is populated by the Model Iproperties revision field. How can I get it to show the Drawing properties revision number? I need my vendors to see the drawing number and associated revision levels of the drawings which make up the assembly not the Models which they may never see. There are many times we update drawings with notes that do not effect the underlying model but still reflect a revision change in the drawing so I need people building assemblies to make sure they are building the assembly components to the correct revisions.

Im running Inventor 2012 on a 64 bit windows 7 machine.
Having just newly discovered that Inventor has a Revision Cloud command, I read through the forums and found out that I had to install the two SKD .msi files named DeveloperTools & UserTools, which I have done. I also read that I have to execute the RegisterGeneralTools.exe which I have also done. I've rebooted and restarted Inventor numerous times thinking that my Add-Ins tab will show up with my newly acquired Revision Cloud command in Drawing Tools but to no avail.
Im coming from Inventor 2009 so I'm not sure if the Add-Ins tab is now supposed to be the Add-In Manger but from what I seen I should have a tab just right of "Get Started" and should include Drawing Tools and General Tools.

We frequently will create a new part and drawing based on an existing drawing to save time recreating views and re-dimensioning the entire drawing. This is done by using Design Assistant to copy the idw and ipt file to a new name.
The only problem we have experienced with this workflow is that the revision history for the old drawing is maintained in the new file, and there doesnt seem to be a way to reset it. This also causes us a problem if a drawing needs to be changed from numeric to letter indication of revision level.
Any way to reset the revision history so that a new table can be started from scratch?
