revision conversion from letter to integer

Hi,

Is there a way to display a revision as integer (1) instead of the letter (A)?

I'd like to use the Windchill parameter (PTC_WM_REVISION) on drawing.

Thanks in advance!

If your PTC_WM_REVISION is numeric, then set a relation in the drawing: DWG_REV = PTC_WM_REVISION.

Use the parameter DWG_REV in your drawing titleblock.

It sounds like Windchill is currently using letters for revisions.  To change this requires changing the versioning series.  Normally this type of change is done before Windchill is put into production as there is no good way to go back and change existing letter revisions into numbers.  Can you confirm whether or not the revision in Windchill are currently letters?

Currently lettters are used for PTC_WM_REVISION in Windchill.

After your reply, I start thinking of a conversion in a Visual Basic program.
