revision update
(OP)
My company list detailed revisions on drawings in a format like:
c 5/05/07 9058 was 9500354 TS
B 9/08/02 8535 changes per pilot run CF
A 4/06/99 5536 release for production SL
What would be the best way to automatically update every drawing (revision list) effected by the revision and automatically list the roll the revision letters forward?

RE: revision update
Are you asking for a macro that batch updates drawings, or simply one that reduces the time it takes to update drawings?
Some of the "automatic" updating you are asking about can be done through PDMWorks. This will not automatically fill in the revision block however, but a macro can be used to do this with SolidWorks API. (I don't recommend getting involved with PDMWorks API.)
You can use this macro as a starting point. It allows user input to automatically fill in a rev block and applies some of those changes to the custom properties: http:/
(Some minor modification will be needed to order the entries correctly.)

My suggestion is to get something like PDMWorks.
