Revision management

MaFarine — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 11:57:16 GMT

Hello,

I am looking into improving our revision management technics.

So I looked into the Transmittal Sets and Change Manager.

So far everything is ok for files that only have one page (our plans, sections and facades).

Revision ID is good, the workflow is clear and I can put the revision ID in the file name (mandatory for most of our projects).

But sometimes we merge multiple pages into one file (details by trade).

I cannot figure out how to get the revision ID in the file name in a direct manner.

Maybe it is not possible and since different pages can have different revision ID I could understand it but I would have found it nice to get ID from the first page (where I put the revision history object for information).

Any ideas / thoughts about this topic?

How do you do this in your office?

Thanks a lot for all your help.

Best regards,

Hi Mathieu,

I would suggest treating this as in old-fashion paper-based scenario. Any "roll of paper layouts" was identified by its transmitted issue ID. Effectively, you should create new Transmitted Issue in Book and used its ID on the file with merged layouts.

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for your help.

Could you show me what you mean by creating a "new Transmitted Issue in Book" because I don't quite see what you mean.

Best regards,
