I am having an issue with the incrementation of ourrevisions, primarily our minor revisions. A little backgroundfirst.
Major revisions - A0, A1, A2...A9, B0, B1, B2...B9, C0, C1, C2...and so on.
Minor Revision - .1, .2, .3... .9 this is appended to end of majorrevision. (A4.2)
Minor revision is primarily used when correcting typo's, addingreference dimensions, or anything that does not physically changethe part.
So part is Released at A0, next ECO is written to modify part. Partis then bumped to A1. Next modification changes part to A2. Thenpart has minor change, typo is description, and part is set to A2.1At next modification part increments to A3.
Our issue, Enterprise pdm is incrementing our Major and Minorrevision correctly as seen the the data card. However when lookingat the property 'Revision' on the part, assy or drawing files, therevisions are incorrect when using Minor revisions where usedthrough workflow. When using a minor revision workflow, lets sayfile is at A3, the revision should display A3.1 This is displayingproperly in the data card in EPDM but when the revision is set inthe properties of solidworks parts, assy, and drawings it showsA2.1
Revision in solidworks files is going back 1 major revision andthen adding the minor revision. We always have to manually updatethe revision property.
Can anyone share some insight into this? and suggestions forresolving?
