solidworks >> ISSUE: Revision table template

by SW Monkey » Fri, 24 Feb 2006 03:34:03 GMT

I am trying to export our revision table as a template, but its not
saving the extra row I added for our revision 0. We start our drawings
at rev 0, and show this in the revision block. Since the first rev
that shows up when you do a "Add revision" is 1, we add a 0 row
manually.

The reason why I need this for a template is 1.) When modifying old
drawings, we update our sheetformat, which doest contain the new
revision (i dont believe there is a way to add the revision table to
the sheet format) and 2.) Every SolidWorks user would like their own
rev table with their data filled in. Since I cannot get custom
properties to work in the rev table, I need to do this.

Attached is what our base rev table looks like, the second image is
what I get when I save it as a template.

Im suprised I havent received any responses on this. Do most people
use the SolidWorks revision block, or do they create their own using
Excel or another OLE object? We use to have just plain lines and text,
that was a PITA.

I still use the PITA way :-)

Bad enough SW buggering around with toolbox and BOMs in the past I
tend to not trust their helpful features for a few years :-)

As far as I know, it will not do what you are wanting it to do. It will
only save the heading line in the template. Anything below that is
considered a revision line and would therefore not be part of the template.

At least this is the way I see it anyway...

i don't see why: you're doing latex documents, after all.

if the documents have the information in their actual text, it can be
processed by techniques similar to those of rcs.sty

there are no actual packages that do what you're after, afaik.  but i
don't imagine it would be terribly taxing.  do you write tex macros?

5. layer issues with fmt & template 

I am trying to put surface finished and geometric tolerances on layers so 
that they can be hidden in part mode. I have created a layer rule in the 
model that puts all surface finishes created in the drawing onto the layer 
SURFACE_FINISHES in the model.

HOWEVER.......

It only seems to work when I create a drawing using a format. It doen't work 
with any template I use. Any ideas?

TIA
