revisions on each sheet of multiple sheet drawing 2

[duk748]

hello - this may have been discussed here before so please accepy my appology if it has - our company has NO STANDARDS - only standards that some people who think they know everything dictate to all the rest of us - i was always taught that if a multiple sheet drawing has revisions that the revision should show up on each sheet as far as the rev number goes but only the description of the revision being made should show up om just the sheet it applies to - all other sheets should say see sheet no.x for revision - what is the correct way to do this or the standards way - any help would be appreciated - thank you

Add a revision block/table on the first sheet that indicates each sheet's rev.
In the mechanical design world, I have not seen this practice in probably 25 years.

Your suggested method should work fine. I have not worked for a company in many years that actually described the change in the rev block, instead refering back to the controlling rev document (ECN, ECO, etc) for the actual change description.
Whatever you do, try to avoid having separate revision levels for individual sheets as this can cause configuration nightmares, and most modern CAD systems can't support it without requiring a separate file for each sheet.

hello again & thank you for the reply - yes this may be old practice but my way of thinking is that a person in the shop who has multiple sheets laying around may misplace or lose the 1st sheet & then have a hard time finding the sheet that contains the revision or what the revision is on a particular sheet - i know our solidworks templates are what is driving the revisions only on the 1st sheet here that is why i asked the question - thank you again

You can only do so much to account for others' incompetence. If you let lazy and stupid people tell you how your work should be done, nothing useful ever gets accomplished.

I agree with Tick. You can't design a process around the weakest link. Design a process that works, train people in the process, get rid of people that are too stupid or too lazy to adapt.

Section 7 of ASME Y14.35M-1994 appears to address this topic and gives a different options of how to handle it.

We show a brief change description on sheet 1, sometimes only pointing to the CR document. Each sheet is the same revision and is noted in the title block on each sheet.
