File revisions

The drawing revision is the last position of the file name. Preliminary drawings are with numbers, final drawings with letters. As soon as a drawing has been send it must be made 'read only'.

Status

• WIP - Work in progress - drawing is being worked on, has not been sent to client
• X (revision letter) - drawing has been send to client, not allowed to modify, drawing must be 'read only' (properties)
• X-WIP - work in progress for new revision

Modifications

When you want to modify an already sent drawing, open the file and rename it with the next logic character and add WIP (Work in Progress). When the modifications have been made, the WIP is removed from the name and the drawing can be send after which it must be made 'read only' again.

To do

• indicate status of drawing:
  • add P for Preliminary to revision letter, add PRELIMINARY text above titleblock?
• add 'By' to revision block
• add 'Checked' (Ck'd) to revision block
