Create a Revision

To create a revision for a single datasheet:

• In the Datasheet Information / Add a New Datasheet / Add Datasheet for: window for the datasheet (refer to Add New Datasheets or Edit Datasheet Information), click Add on the Revisions tab.

• Or, select the datasheet in the Datasheet list and click Add Revision in the Actions section of the List Tools - Datasheets tab.

To create a revision for multiple datasheets:

• Select the datasheets in the Datasheet list and click Add Revision in the Actions section of the List Tools - Datasheets tab.
  When revisions are added using this method the details entered in Revision Entry window are assigned to all selected datasheets.

The Revision Entry window is then displayed:

If a single drawing was selected, enter the new revision number in the Revision No field.

If multiple drawings were selected, a different version of the window is displayed:

Either enter a revision number in the Revision No field to be applied to all the selected datasheets, or click the Auto Increment checkbox (this is not available when editing multiple revisions, only when creating). The Revision No field is then disabled. When Save is clicked, all the revision numbers of the selected datasheets are incremented by one, for example, if the current revision is "A", then the next is "B" or if current revision is "2", then the next is "3" etc.

Double-click on the Date field to open a date selection form (or press the Enter key when the Date field is selected).

The Description field contains a list of all previously created revision descriptions. Add a new description by entering it in the field. Any new descriptions will be available for future revisions.

Note:
Which fields appear on this window (apart from the Revision No, Date and Description fields) and their names is specified on the Datasheet tab of the Options window. Refer to Datasheet Tab.
