The Revision Table Templates are used to determine where and how the revision table is inserted into the drawing with the ATR CustomTools Data feature. The revision table template also determines the column sizes used in the revision table.

NOTE: Mapping Revision Table with a Sheet Format using the revision table templates by themselves does not mean that the revision table is inserted automatically into the drawing when it is created.

To insert Revision Table automatically to drawings, create a SOLIDWORKS Drawing Template (*.drwdot) using a SOLIDWORKS Sheet Format (*.slddrt) with the desired Revision Table Mapping applied.
