Only books, cover pages, and drawings are assigned revision numbers.
Revision numbers are managed individually, rather than on a project level. Revision numbers
are formatted according to the electrical project configuration parameters.
You can specify the revision index during drawing creation.
To access Revisions, right-click a book
or drawing and click Revisions
.
An option dialog box opens asking you if you want to update the report and terminal strip
drawings (according to the electrical project configuration settings). Click the
following :

Report, design rule, and terminal strip drawings update

| Continue action without

update before the command runs. |
| Cancel |
The command stops and drawings do not update. |
You manage the revision index in three steps:
- Creation
- Validation
- Verification
When a revision index is managed on a book, you can propagate this index to all the
drawings within the book.
