Hello,

I've seen, maybe with other CAD packages, a way that the drawings keep a log of historic up-issue's. How does everyone manage that here? At the moment I'm creating new drawings, saving it with a different file name and only including the modification that required the up-issue for that one drawing. Ideally I'd like to keep a log of the modifications from initial drawing through to the current iteration.

I hope that makes sense?

What's an up-issue? I'm not familiar with that term.

Hi Dave,

It's an increment of an issue number on a drawing. Maybe slang that I've gotten used to using!

Thanks

I don't know what an issue number is... that might be a process or terminology specific to an industry or companies I haven't worked for.

Is that like a revision number?

Are you using Windchill to manage your files? Windchill keeps the history of the drawing, so there's no need to change the filename. We keep a manual table on ours for the engineer to enter information on what changed in that particular revision
