Hi All
At production release, each drawing rev block is updated with rev, "release to production" and dated.Unfortunately it is a manual process. has anyone a macro, batch processing similar to task scheduler that would automate this update of the revison block?

It's a manual process even with a custom property that you enter the info to. Or at least it is with the custom property I use to draw up my prints at work.
 
Thanks
ctopher - so if you have a hundred drawing to rev before a production release, you have to open each one and paste from notepad?
 
Yes, if needed.
But, I only do a couple drawing here and there every day. I don't have 100 drawings that would require some type of macro to do it.
Only takes seconds to type the required info on each drawing.
