Hello,
We have PDME set up with an approval workflow. In this workflow we have a Released state, which bumps the revision. We've discovered this means we cannot put customer information in the title block, since when we change the state, modify the info, and change back to Released, we get a new revision, even though the part did not change. We been using stickers, and writing this information in the title block, but this is time consuming. This is especially a problem for PDF's we send to outside suppliers, which need this information, and the electronic copy. So we have to manually enter this info, then scan the PDF to get an electronic copy with the correct information on it. How do other handle this?
Thanks,
Larry
We get around this by having the models revision controlled seperately from the drawings. From our perspective, if the drawing gets changed in any way, it gets a revision, and a new pdf drawing is printed. So we may have a model at Rev B, and a drawing at Rev H for the same part.
So if we are adding notes, or BOM ballons etc, we just create a new revison of the drawing.
Hope that helps,
