How to reset the whole layout book revision / issue history?

[Leire Bilbao]

Hello!

We have different phases in the project, each one with its own revision / issue history.

The design phase with the client, then submission to authorities, then tender, construction, etc. When starting a new phase I need my revision history back to zero as we usually use the same file. The only way I know how to do this is reopening transmittal sets and delete them. That is extremely tedious when I have more than hundred transmittal sets.

Is it possible to reset to zero quicker?

Not as a template. I want to use the same file because it is for the same project, just a different phase. For example we have a phase for submissions to municipality that usually has 5 revisions or so. Then we start a tender phase that might have 2 or 3 revisions. And then have 2 phases for construction. One for the contractor of the apartments that is usually up to 80 transmittal sets and one for the contractor of the retail spaces that might be 20 transmittal sets.

And it is always the same building.

So there is no wish for this yet?

I assume you have some other note in your titleblock that denotes the phase? We change titleblocks and revisions style between phases...

I agree with you on this, but unfortunately in practice this doesn't happen.

Verbally they talked about it then they will decide to change things for the record but keep the date as it is.

Explained to them how it works end up I just need to place a fill over the text and create a new text over it. 😅

I'm interested now in the property you created for the transmittal date. 😁

If you have 100 revisions you can just simply filter out and add layout within book settings

then you just select the first layout then press hold shift to the end layout you want to add.

Yes, I do have the phase in the titleblock but I can't start construction or tender in revision 5

If you click the arrow next to "add transmittal set" in "edit scheme" you can add a manual issue date (and anything else you want the transmittal set to have.
