Revisions

Database Operation - Project Revisions

These settings control the behaviour of project revisions, layer revisions and linked revisions in conjunction with the Revisions settings in Impact Options - Database Installation.

Project revisions

Controls the behaviour of the Release Projects operation (from File - Update or from the Project Browser):

Create revision with geometry on first project save

Switching this option on causes a revision to be created with geometry the first time the project is saved. This allows a user to revert to the initial version of their design.

Require initial revision comment

Switch this option on to make the revision comment mandatory. Enter a default comment in the box below

Default revision comment

This comment can be modified via the Release Projects form.

Create a project revision by default

Switching this option on causes the Create Revision option on the Release Projects form to be enabled by default.

Choose which version of the project to save in the revision:

• Use the geometry being saved for the revision - this is the recommended method
• Use the geometry from the last update for the revision - make the previous version of the drawing a revision, then use this version to make an update

Require revision comment

Switch this option on to make the revision comment mandatory. Enter a default comment in the box below

Default revision comment

This comment can be modified via the Release Projects form.

Create layer revisions

Switch this option on to enable creation of revisions for each modified layer. This will also enable the Revisions tab on the Layer Properties form and the Revisions context menu item from the Layers tab of the Impact Browser.

Confirm multi-layer update action for all projects

Switch this option on if you want to confirm the project update has occurred for all layers.

Layers containing modified inserted layers should be flagged as revised

If a layer hasn't been modified, but it contains an inserted layer that has been modified, then switching this option on will flag the containing layer as needing to be saved as well.

Require layer revision comment

Switch this option on to make the layer revision comment mandatory.

Allow layer revision numbers to be retained

Switch this option on to retain individual project layer revision numbers when updating a project. This will cause the Layers revisions Action list on the Release Project form to include the Retain options.

Increment layer revision numbers by default when updating

This option controls the default behaviour of whether to increment or retain revision numbers when updating a project.

Linked revisions:

User can create and view linked revisions

If this option is switched on the Open Project form will show an option to create linked revisions. (Such linked revisions will be displayed in the Project Browser - Information Pane.)
