Rev Letter in Revision Table
Rev Letter in Revision Table
(OP)
This is the first time I have ever had this happen in a drawing:
My revision table has 'A' and 'B' revisions rows.
When I 'Add Revision' the next row comes in as 'F' instead of 'C'.
Any suggestions of where it is pulling this information from or how I can correct?
I assume someone else modified the drawing and somehow changed something.
Thanks for the help.

type in 'C' in the revision column, and it inserts the correct symbols as rev C.
But if I do 'Add revision' again it still tries to put in 'Rev F' again.

'Change all' is selected/greyed out
If I select '1,2,3'
Insert a new revision row and Rev 1 comes in.
Delete Rev Row 1
Change back to 'A,B,C'
Insert new revision and it is now at 'D' as it should be.
I don't know what is going on, but will dismiss this as either a setting mixed up somewhere or a glitch with this file.
Thanks for all of the help.

What version and SP of Solidworks are you using? I do not have this issue with mine.
Best regards,

This is the first time in 100s of drawings that I have ever had an issue with the 'auto-lettering' in the rev blocks.
RE: Rev Letter in Revision Table
I think you opened a drawing document created with old version SW. Revision "C", "D", and "E" were removed by someone with the old SW. So, when you add a new revision, SW showed you next revision after "E", hence gave you a "F". This issue does not exist in new SW documents with relative new version. I use SW2008 sp3.1 and I do not have the issue. You can alway fix it manually through "revision" custom property of the drawing document if this happens.
Good Luck!
