We are changing from Intralink to Creo 2.0 and windchill. i have a couple questions

#1. can i have the rev block show only the Rev, and not the version. Rev 1.2. i want my drawing to say just 1.

#2, the part desctiption, we have a 2 line description, in the Name field in Windchill, i have PLATE, MAG ACTUATOR

i want it to display on the drawing like

line 1 PLATE

line 2 MAG ACTUATOR.

in Intralink, we input parameters, but i think we can use the Name column in windchill to show in the title block.

thanks for the help.

1.) Yes. Use the PTC_WM_REVISION parameter.

2.) The NAME column in Windchill is nothing more the the PTC_COMMON_NAME in Creo. It's a single (line) parameter with a max length of 80 characters. In Creo 3 you can create tables that automatically word wrap, but there is no way to guarantee that the text will wrap where you want. If you really need two lines you will need two separate parameters. You could create a custom, single cell repeat region that uses repeat region relations to parse the NAME parameter (at the comma) into two separate repeat region parameters that are then displayed separately in the format.
