Creating Revisions of a Diagram

When the status of a diagram is being changed to values specified in the Revision Configuration Element, the Working or Issued revision of this diagram is created. The working revision allows you to modify and save the Diagram, where the Issued revision is basically a read-only copy located in a separate directory (ProjectDir/PRJdflts/Data/Diagrams/Revisions). Each diagram can have a number of issued revisions at any given time, but only one working revision.

In order to make the status changes easier new commands are available on the Manage Tab / Diagram group. They allow status changes of the current, active drawing.

With that goal in mind also the right mouse button context menu of the SCDIAG element in Schematic Explorer has been extended with the Status Control operations.

Using one of these options displays the Status Definition window.

When the diagram reaches the revision state Issued, it is possible to select the Revision Number according to the Revision Number Definition used in the currently used Revision Configuration.

It is possible to open revisions of a particular diagram using the Open Revision command present in both mentioned menus. This displays a dialog showing the list of revisions available for this diagram.

Additionally this dialog allows admin users to remove unwanted revisions using the Delete button. This button is disabled for regular users.
