Pulling Rev out of Windchill to display in title block of drawing

I would like to change our formats (title block table) to display the proi_revision in the REV box instead of manually typing in the current rev. Does anyone do this, are there any issues that we might encounter in the future?

I believe the proi_xx parameters were just kept to maintain support for legacy data that was migrated from Intralink. I would go with the native Windchill parameters - ptc_wm_xx.

There is a property or preference somewhere to turn off the legacy proi_xx parameters. (I have them turned off on our system.)

Pretty well documented by PTC for setting up Drawing Formats.

Note - You may want to consider also adding a mapping to the primary model on the drawing. Helps greatly to be able to identify the model number and version that the drawing is displaying. We've had this in place on all drawings for years.

Mike,

We have our formats title blocks pulling descriptions, material, and part number from the model. For years we did a manual revision letter display, adding the above parameter will pull the revision of the associated model to display on the drawing. Just wanted to make sure there are no issues with doing this.

thanks!
