Chapter 24: Working with Tables and Drawings


FIGURE 24.15

The Revision Table PropertyManager interface


Immediately after you have created the revision, if the option is enabled, you are prompted to
place a balloon that contains the revision level to identify what has been changed. To finish placing
symbols, you can press Esc. When you are finished placing the balloons, you can fill in the
description of the revision by double-clicking in the Description cell where you want to add text.
Figure 24.16 shows a Revision Table with balloon symbols placed on the drawing.

Revision Tables work by creating a Revision custom property in the drawing document, and by
incrementing this revision each time a revision is added to the table. Additional columns linked to
custom properties can be added to Revision Tables and Revision Table templates.

Cross-Reference
Gauge Tables and Bend Tables are specific to sheet metal parts and are covered in detail in Chapter 29.
Weldment Cut Lists are a special type of table that closely resembles a BOM table in many ways. These are
discussed in Chapter 31, which covers Weldments. n
