Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS® 2016 Fundamentals of Drawing
The Revision Property, $PRP:“Revision”, in the Title
block is linked to the REV. Property in the REVISIONS
table. The latest REV. letter is displayed in the Title
block.
Revision Table Zone Numbers, Dates and Approved
names are inserted as an exercise. The Revision Table
and Engineering Change Order documentation are
integrated in the drawing and the design process.
To save time, incorporate the Revision Table into
your custom Sheet Formats.
Part Number and Document Properties
Engineers manage the parts they create and modify. Each part requires a Part Number
and Part Name. A part number is a numeric representation of the part. Each part has a
unique number. Each drawing has a unique number. Drawings incorporate numerous part
numbers or assembly numbers.
There are software applications that incorporate unique part numbers to create and
perform:
- Bill of Materials
- Manufacturing procedures
- Cost analysis
- Inventory control/Just in Time (JIT)
You are required to procure the part and drawing numbers from the documentation
control manager.
