Vault Revision Tables (add-ins-only)
Learn about using revision tables with Vault.
The Revision table is a box of information on a drawing containing key information about the drawing and where it stands in its lifecycle. A revision table typically includes the revision letter, a description of changes, the date of the last change, zonal information, and approval information. The values contained in the revision table represent the properties associated with the drawing and not the associated part/assembly or its children.
The process of manually updating the revision tables on drawings can be time-consuming, especially for changes that require simple property updates throughout the drawing's lifecycle. The Vault Revision Table feature allows you to automatically update a drawing's revision table data. Since multiple revision tables may exist in the same drawing, the Vault Revision Table feature tracks and updates all tables that begin with a named identifier.
Administrators can configure the Vault Revision Table behavior by determining the mapped values and display settings within the Vault Revision Table Settings dialog. This dialog can also be accessed via the Behaviors tab on the Vault Settings dialog in the Autodesk Vault client.
