Revision sync between 2D and 3D

In our company, it's critical that the revision level is always identical between a 3D model (.sldprt/.sldasm) and its associated 2D drawing (.slddrw) for a given item number.

We include the revision in our print file naming (e.g., 1234567_A.pdf), so having the revision only on the 3D model is not an option — both must be aligned.

I'm curious how others handle this:

  • Do you ensure that 2D and 3D files always follow the same path through the workflow?
  • Do you use any methods to synchronize the revision between the 3D model and the referenced drawing?
  • Do you rely on manual processes, Dispatch actions, or custom add-ins?

Any insights, best practices, or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated!
