Revision Data Importing Options

Revision import options are used to set up migration of revision information from ATR CustomTools 3.x, TEAMWORKS Custom Property Manager, and from existing SOLIDWORKS files whose revision information is not yet stored in the ATR CustomTools database.

ATR CustomTools conditions:

All used sheet format files must be modified so that the ATR CustomTools 3.x revision table header is removed, all linked ATR CustomTools 3.x revision field custom properties are removed from the sheet format, and the anchor point for the general table is correctly defined.

Source options:

Revision data source Determines the type of the revision data source. Select the data source from the following options:
  • ATR CustomTools 3.x custom property revision information. Retrieve the revision data from the revision properties of the ATR CustomTools 3.x version.
  • SOLIDWORKS drawing revision table. Retrieve the revision data from the revision table of the SOLIDWORKS drawing document.
  • TEAMWORKS - Custom Property Manager revision information. Retrieve the revision data from the TEAMWORKS Custom Property Manager.
Delete original revisions after successful migration (ATR CustomTools 3.x/Custom Property Manager) Select this option to remove revision information from the ATR CustomTools 3.x/Custom Property Manager file after a successful import process.

Revision data target:

Document type Sets the target document type.
Revision custom property Sets the target property for the revision data.

The Revision custom property box retrieves available document type-specific custom properties by their Labels defined in the ATR CustomTools options.

Column mappings:
