I made a revision to a drawing and checked it into PDM. I used the revision table. Now when I check out this drawing to make another revision, the description in the revision table is missing. This happens everytime I do this. all the revision symbols are there as well as the revision letter on the title block. Any ideas?

Does it show on print preview or on the hard copy print?

No its gone completely. I have to rewrite it in again. It seems to disappear as soon as its checked into PDM. When you view the e-drawing view form within PDM it's not there either.

Do you have revision table enabled in the PDM admin?? There is an option for visible rows too. check that out, the two are connected.

My same thought as SolidsMaster, assuming you ARE using PDM-Works. Let us know if his suggestions works. If not, maybe your video card or something else? Also check your rev template.

Revision table is enabled and the visible rows are set to 5. How do I check my rev template?
