Revision Table

You can add a table, containing the version information of the related model into the drawing. This help descibes the options regarding to the revision table insertion.

Revision rows in the the revision table inserted with the Data command are retrieved from the model configuration that the drawing sheet refers to. Please see the SOLIDWORKS help for the further instructions about how to change the configuration shown in the active sheet of the drawing.


Where to find the revision table insertion tool:

Click Data in the CustomTools toolbar or click CustomTools, Data.

The CustomData pane appears.


Revision Table Insertion:

The revision table can be inserted into the drawing. If you insert the revision table before you add any views, you need to rebuild the drawing once you have added at least one view into the drawing in order to update the revision table.


Under Choose Data To Add, click Revision and then click Next to proceed to the revision table options page.

Revision table border weight settings are read from the SOLIDWORKS document settings so the user could edit the revision table borders.

Info NOTE: The Revision table cannot be added into the sheet format but the revision table can be mapped with the desired sheet format to insert it automatically.

When importing the revision data for the file that already has the revision table, the imported data is compared with the current revision data and the latest revision data appears into the revision table.
