Revision Table

[Creigbm]

I am trying to link the description of the revision table to the custom properties. Is it possible to have the hole table insert multipile revision descriptions taken straight from the custom properties? In other words say I have

RevDesc1 = "XXX"
RevDesc2 = "YYY"
RevDesc3 = "ZZZ"

Is there a way to make the revision table 'know' that RevDesc1 corresponds to A, RevDesc1 corresponds to , etc?

Thanks in advance for any advise.

There is no way that I know of unless you want to create multiple entries in custom properties for the different revision levels. Our VAR has no way to do this either.

Tried linking it to blocks, which works to an extent. The previous revision block needs to have its link broken. Then it retains the previous info and the next block contains the info from the custom properties. Maybe an API guru can help automate this process. Good luck and let me know what you find.

Thanks for you help. I was trying to write up a macro to do this and I have found that I am able to do it if I use the old revision table (not the linked one that SW04 came out with). I think I will put in an enhancement request to SW and see if something will come out of it. The revision table has definite advantages, just needs a little tweaking!
