When we set up our workflow for our standard products we set
it to inc the revision once the part/drawing went from "RELEASED"
to "UNDER REVISION". Basically, once you take a file out of the
released state, it automatically increases the revision. This has
cause some to get very confused. so, we would like to change our
workflow to inc the revision once it goes into a "RELEASED" state
from "PENDING APPROVAL". The problem is that for parts that have
gone to from "RELEASED TO "UNDER REVISION", the revision level has
already jumped form A to B. if we make a change to our workflow,
the revision will jump to C once it is promoted to "RELEASED"
without any changes.
does anyone have a way to add a transition and state to our workflow that will allow us to take the example above and move the revision negatively back to B? This is something we would like our Administrator to be able to do.
thanks,

I think it may be best to investigate changing your workflow instead. I like to change the revision variable as the file come out of the RELEASED state, but not actually incrementing the revision itself until the file goes back into the RELEASED state.
This give me the advantage not confusing the designers...they see they are working on revision B, because that is what the revision variable says (and this is what they normally see in the drawing titleblock), yet the file isn't really B (as far as Enterprise is concerned) until it is again approved.
