Revision number and title in the nomenclature

2D plans
1

Hello @ All @ All @ux MEP Champions

I do very little MEP but here I have a particular need.

I don't have PDM and am in SW 2021

The nomenclature is my reference document, including for references for shelving purchases .

The nomenclature in question is made from an ASM which contains a hundred parts. No sub-ASM in this case!

For some plans I have revisions but these are in the plans and not in the model.

For a bit complicated plans I sometimes have 2 or 3 revisions especially for prototypes.

So how do you insert columns in the nomenclature in which the revisions would appear?

Or another solution is to have all the revisions in a file and then I can make the link in Excel for example if the SW file allows it.

In short, I'm lost in apples!

Kind regards

 Hello;

I don't believe that the Solidworks editor can move a property from a drawing to a part or assembly. This needs to be checked... (We don't use this editor at home*)
However, if your drawings have the same file name as your parts (and even better if they are also in the same directory) it should be possible to create a macro to " flip up " the value of the Review property.


- Our design office uses Visiativ tools (SmartBom), to collect a nomenclature of drawings only, with their revision index.
And *Smartproperties to create/manage our properties.

Kind regards

Hello @Maclane 

Thank you very much for your answer.

Kind regards

PS: I'm waiting a bit to see if a macro exists before assigning the right answer ;) ;)

Hello Zozo,

We have put the revision in the part model (custom properties of the part) and in the drawing we have a table of revisions at the top right and in this way we can retrieve the revisions in the BOM (we have added a column that searches for the revision in the part)

Good evening @ac cobra 427

Thank you very much for this solution.

Now I'm going to have to understand and manage to do what you're using.

Kind regards

PS: in the old days you used to make super mega awesome         tutorials (hihihi!!!!!)

Hi all

I confirm what says @Maclane it is not possible to reassemble the drawing properties to the model (PRT or ASM) natively.
However, there is a function in " SmartProperties " : " Property creation on the linked document"  but I never used it.

For my part, I proceed like @ac cobra 427 with the revisions in the model, but the revision table is managed by EPDM with the old technique that dates back to before the integration of the " revision table" tool in SolidWorks

 HS:  How lucky are you to do little drawing, for me it represents more than 50% of SW's time all so that no one reads them.

My poor man if no one reads your plans. Post them here and we'll read them to comfort you.  ;)  ;) ;)

Thank you for your answer;)
