NX8 Drafting Sheet Revs: how to have all @ same rev, automatically

NX8 Drafting Sheet Revs: how to have all @ same rev, automatically

NX8 Drafting Sheet Revs: how to have all @ same rev, automatically

(OP)
In NX8 (NX8.0.1 MP1) there is new functionality in Drafting which makes it possible to set (or increment) the Sheet Revision directly. It is now possible for multiple Sheets within a Drawing to exist at different Revision levels (ie: Sheet 1 = Revision "A" while Sheet 2 = Revision "B").  

While this is permissible by some standards, it is also possible (and possibly desirable) to wish to maintain a standard that the entire drawing (all sheets) must exist at the same revision.

Is there any way within the current NX8.0.1 MP1 release, to set up NX to do this automatically?  For example, if the user increments the revision on any sheet, then all other sheets update to the same Revision level?

I can't seem to find any mention of this in the documentation and haven't been able to figure it out on my own, yet.

Thanks in advance.

OK, just go to the Part Navigator and expand the 'Drawing' item where you will see all of the Drawing sheets.  Now select them all (hold down the 'Ctrl' key and select each Drawing sheet) until they're all highlighted.  Then with your cursor over one of them, press MB3 and select the 'Increment Sheet Revision' option.  All of the sheets will now have been incremented one letter value (if they were all Rev 'A', they are now all Rev 'B').
