Chapter 24: Working with Tables and Drawings
- Change the number of decimal places used in the Hole Table from two places to
three. You can do this in the PropertyManager. - Deselect the Hide Hole Centers option in the Visibility panel.
- Select the Combine same sizes option in the PropertyManager. This demonstrates a
much cleaner table and would be a good thing to have in the tutorial. - Save the drawing.
Tutorial: Using Revision Tables
In this tutorial, you create a basic Revision Table and make a template. Follow these steps:- Using a drawing that you completed in one of the previous tutorials, make sure that
a Revision Table Anchor has been placed in the upper-right corner of the Sheet
Format. You must edit the Sheet Format to do this by RMB+clicking the point that you
want to use for the anchor. Remember to select Edit Sheet from the RMB menu to exit
Edit Sheet Format mode.
Note
Ideally, the anchors for all table types should be set in templates and formats, but it is set up here to give you
some practice creating the anchors. n
- Click the Revision Table button on the Tables toolbar. Select the Attach to Anchor
option in the PropertyManager. Click the green check mark icon to accept the table.
Figure 24.24 shows the initial stub of the Revision Table.

Drawing templates can be saved with the Revision Table stub if it also has a format. The Revision Table is not
saved with the format because it has to go on the drawing sheet. n
- To initiate a new revision level in the Revision Table, RMB+click the table and
choose Revisions ➪ Add Revision. - Depending on the default settings in Tools ➪ Options ➪ Document Properties ➪
Drafting Standard ➪ Tables ➪ Revision, the first revision will be either A or 1. If
you are using PDMWorks Workgroup, then you may have other options.
