My company has purchased SW for several months and we are trying to shift the 2d drawings from AutoCAD to SW. It's hard because our AutoCAD is highly customized and the designers and detailers are not happy to give up all the facilities I created for them in AutoLISP. One of the little problem we encountered is how to provide a simple method in introducing and updating the revision block and revision notes in the drawings.
In AutoCAD, I created an AutoLISP routine which opened up a dialog box, filled up the date, revision number (next available), person who was doing the revision (as rhe person who was logged in to that computer) and offered up to ten lines to describe the revision. When "OK" button was clicked it created a block with attributes entered on the dialog box, created all the necessary geometry, inserted itself in the proper position and updated the title block with the new revision number.
I would like to create something similar in SW. Anybody has any thoughts or suggestions about how to approach this problem?
Thanx
