CLONING an assembly in Teamcenter, while specifying an output revision

[LinuxFreak]

We use cloning a lot to generate new assemblies that are similiar to, or based on, previous assemblies. During the cloning operation we specify which items are to be retained (i.e. not cloned) and which items are to be created (using a REPLACE NUMBER RULE). HOWEVER, any new items created as part of that cloning operation are always generated at revision "A". Is there a way to clone an assembly of components but specify a particular revision at the same time? We've followed a convention for years where our prototype models have a revision beginning with X and then a number. I'd like to clone to X1 revision and not A revision.

I've tried editing a clone log file to be read for input, specifying the revision letters I need, but it didn't work. It ignored the revision letters and still created them at "A". If there's anyone else out there that can offer some insight I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

I would also like to do this in order to retain WAVE links.
I am working in Teamcenter and have WAVE linked assemblies that are study files that I would like to clone back to original production parts so that I don't have to spend hours relinking everything.

I select the assembly, select Numbering tab, select User Number. I (dry run) walk through the parts and NX asks for the number and the revision for each part but the operation fails. The error is "part file already exists". The revision level that I want to create does not exist. The Item and a released item revision do exist. (Revision 001 is released and i want to clone to revision 002).

I thought I was able to do this in NX7.5 and before. Perhaps I am mistaken. Or is this a Teamcenter configuration issue?

Thanks.
