Auto changing "Revision" custom property in part when adding revisions

Auto changing "Revision" custom property in part when adding revisions

(OP)
I would like to have SW automatically add/increment the "Revision" custom property in a part when I add a revision under the revision table of the accompanying SLDDRW. How do I do this? I know nothing about macros and I think this might require one...
Thank you.

RE: Auto changing "Revision" custom property in part when adding revisions

A while ago, I created a macro that updates your rev block and the custom property value at the same time:

Running macros can be easy, but sometimes you'll encounter issues that need to be address.  If you need help running macros, check this FAQ:  http://sw.fcsuper.com/index.php?name=FAQ&id_cat=3#q9
