Track sheets changed in a Revision

Issuing a Revision? Want to know which sheets were affected by the revision? Finding out this information is super easy and simply requires the creation of a schedule.


Create a new sheet schedule (or duplicate the one you already have) but this time adding the 'current revision' parameter as a field. Under the filter tab, you want to filter by where the revision number equals 1 (or whatever number is your revision number). This will only show the sheets in which a revision cloud assigned to that revision exist. You can then duplicate this for any more revisions you have.

This can be a super easy way to know which sheets you will need to print as 'issued' for the revision. If you have sheets from your consultants models linked in also, then these sheets will also show up in this list (you could further filter by sheets starting with 'A' if you wanted only architectural)

Unfortunately there is not easy way to only print these sheets, but in the print dialogue box you can create a new sheet set, and manually go through and check only the sheets listed in the schedule and save it, that way you can easily print these affected sheets any time you want.
