Can you change the format of revison tables?

[robert.templeton]

I would like to adjust the contents and widths of the columns in my revison tables. I can edit the revision table in a drawing, but I would like to change the default format for the table so that when I insert a revision table, it is in my format (in the same way that I have defined my title block to fit my needs). Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks,

Thanks,The answer is you cant. This has been an ongoing issue since R6. Not only can you not create a custom revision table and save as such, edited revision tables can not be saved in idw template files. Autodesk state that this is high on their priority list (how high is high?). Wish I had better news for you.

It is possible to save a drawing with a revision table in it, but not as a template in your template directory. Open your template, add the revision table, change the widths of the columns to suit, then save it in a convenient location. When you need to create your idw, use the open command to open this file, do not use the new file command. Hope this is of some help to you.
