ePDM users Beware of the Rev Table!!

If you're linking your PDM controlled revisions to your titleblocks using $PRP Revision, then make sure you create a new General table to be used instead of the solidworks rev table. If you insert a new row in the rev table it will increment the "solidworks" revision of the file.

As an example: we put + after revisions that are being modified. I had a drawing that was rev 01+, I did NOT swap out the rev table for my new general table. I added a new row and typed in 02 into the rev column. When I checked the file into the vault PDM displayed the file's revision as C.

Make sure you replace the rev table!
