Drawing Standards 1

Does anyone know the standard on my current situation?

Here is the example: I have a certain drawing that has a release date of 11/7/2007 by the draftsman, and a date of approval by our engineer of 11/7/2007 (in the title block, not the revision block). Now if a revision of the drawing is dated for 4/15/2008, would the date of the current drawing be for 11/7/2007 or 4/15/2008?

So basically in the revision block we have revision A dated 11/7/2007, then revision B dated 4/15/2008. In the title block we have the draftsman name, and the engineer approvals name, but what date do we assign the title block? Do we leave the Initial Release date of 11/7/2007, or change it to the latest updated date of 4/15/2008?

Thanks in advance!!!

Thank you Bradley. I haven't received a star for awhile. I have the whole spec, but didn't want to upload due to legal issues.

Have a good day,
