Automatic revision symbols
Automatic revision symbols
(OP)
Is there a way you can insert a revision symbol with text that can automatically link to the current revisiion of the drawing ie DB_PART_REV?

<W@DB_PART_REV>
Scheme is <W@Atribute_name>

If you have not otherwise some system or method of telling the program what revision you're using them manually assigning the value to an attribute will be the best way.

RE: Automatic revision symbols
we do have TeamCentre (or rather NX Manager) but as we haven't had any training on it yet, we are still working in native.
The workaround I found (creating a journal file to add the symbol at the current revision) seemed to work ok, but I have found that I can now not delete that symbol. I have tried pressing the delete key, selecting delete from the right-click menu, and cut from the right-click menu but none of these method seems to work.
Can anyone shed some light on this at all?

Other option, make sure that is not inside a view on the face of the drawing. Try deleting views to see if the symbol goes with one of them, if necessary delete the sheet. I expect that you know to either save or be prepared to accept the risk that you'll be able to undo whatever you don't really want to delete.
Maybe once you get that sorted out you ought to share the macro with the forum. Some of the wiser minds may be able to debug whatever ails it. Sounds like don't use that journal in the meantime.

It is not located inside a drawing view, as the journal file creates the symbol at 0,0,0.
I have attached a copy for anyone to look at & see if they can spot anything I've done wrong.

Please feel free to use this if you would like. It inserts a revision symbol (rev A) at 0,0,0.

RE: Automatic revision symbols
I'll be able to have a look at it and get back to you by this time tomorrow.

Thankfully it is a moot point since you fixed the Journal File.
