Use this assistant to create a new revision for your document. The assistant consists of three steps:
General Information
In this step you enter the new revision number and revision text, and specify the information to copy from the old revision to the new revision. You can also specify if the new revision's electronic file can be updated during the approval process. The Next and Finish buttons become accessible after you have entered the new revision number and revision text.
Update Object Connections
In this step of the assistant, you can update object connections from the old document revisions to the new document revision by selecting the Select check box for that document revision's row. This means that the object connection will be removed from a previous revision and moved to the current revision based on the value in the Update Revision field:
Use the Select All Possible button to select the Select check
box for all object connections which are possible to update on the document
revision.
Use the Select Default button to reset the value of the Select check box for all object connections according to the default configuration.
If the number of connected objects is greater than the limit for object
connections to display in the assistant (LMT_OBJ_CON_SHOW_WIZARD value in
Document Default Values), you can select whether the default
configuration should be used or whether all or none of the object connections
should be moved.
If the option Keep/Move them according to the Update Revision value is
selected, the connections will be moved according to the settings in the
Update Revision field as given below.
If the option Keep/Move them according to the Update Revision value, including fixed and unlocked connections is selected, all possible object connections will be moved to the document revision, except for the connections with following update revision type and connection status:
Replace Old Revision in Document Structure
This step appears only if the old document revision is part of a structure document. Parent documents to the old document revision are displayed in a table. You can connect the new revision to those parents, thus replacing the old revision in the structure. However, parent documents must have the Preliminary status for this replacement to be allowed. Parent documents of structures in Approved or Released status cannot be changed.
