Revision Numbering

[troy.crandell635379]

Ok, I know you can switch from numeric to alpha characters when adding revisions, but when using numeric values, is it possible to use 0?

I'm sorry but questions like this just floor me. If you click on settings\revisions you will se that the first one defaults to 1 and there is no way to change it that I know of.

Obviously, but you never know when someone out there has figured out a way to buck the system.

i normally use the letter "O" in the alphabetical mode. Tricky isn't it.

One workaround is to use the existing Revision Sequence parameter (which is an integer) to drive the value of a new calculated value (text), such as "Rev #", in this way: (for example)



if(Revision Sequence = 1, "0", if(Revision Sequence = 2, "1", if(Revision Sequence = 3, "2",if(Revision Sequence = 4, "3", " "))))


Then, in the revision schedule, you need to hide the actual revision number and show the custom "Rev #" instead.

Just be aware that this will not be automatically coordinated with revision tags. That will need to be modified manually.
