Change text font colour in Revision Table

Chris Berry Nov 25, 2016 5:07 AM

Am I right in saying that you cannot set the colour of the text in the revision table to one colour & the revision table lines to another? I know you can set the whole table to a particular layer which sets the colour for it but it also sets the font to that colour as well. I also know that once the revision has been included you can change the font colour manually but I still cant get it to do it automatically.

I'm asking if anyone knows a way around this or if I'm missign something. Thanks.

Hi Chris,
From my experience you are correct on all accounts. I imagine those in the API game may be able to help you if you direct the conversation over in that direction.

  Ok, thanks - I thought that it would be the case.
  
  Its not a big problem, but it's always fustrating when I want to do something simple (imo) & SW cant.

    Agreed, the formatting options are minimal at best. Perhaps its worth putting in as an enhancement request?

      I could do, but I've seen a brick wall across the road from where I work. Apparently, if I bang my head against it for a few hours it will sort out my Solidworks issues much quicker than Dassault!

        Can you please expand on that.
        Are you saying create your own Revision Table? Or your own text?
        I know that text within the table can be individually editted & the colour changed, but as soon as a new automatic line is added by the user the text is the same colour as the layer the table is on.
        
        Thanks.

        In the past "I" had issues with the revision tables, mostly I didn't totally understand the workflow and we really didn't use it in the past, but now we track every change, plus we don't use PDM. So yes I created my own Revision Table and created additional properties to link those notes, dates, and rev number.
        
        Also I use Custom Property Tab Builder to compile and track all that info - see the attached files -
