Diagrams : Working with Diagrams : Revision Handling : Revision Mark Shape

The Revision Mark Shape is a specific Label shape. It displays the number of a revision at which the connected shape was modified for the last time. The Revision Mark Shape can be sensitive to changes of Database Attributes of the connected shape, graphical changes of this shape, or both.

To make Revision Mark Shapes sensitive for the graphical shape changes setting Revision Marks on drawing changes in Diagrams Options > Revision handling options > Revision Marks should be set to True.

To make the Revision Mark Shape sensitive for Database attributes changes the list of influential Element Types and Attributes should be set in the Revision Marks Elements and Revision Marks Attributes setting. The list is a white-list type, it means the omitted elements will not toggle Revision Mark changes.

The Revision Mark Shapes could be manually dropped on the drawing and connected to drawing elements but there is also a possibility to use them in an automated manner.

There is a dedicated menu button Insert Revision Marks available on the Insert tab. It allows you to insert Revision Marks on modified shapes on the current page, on all pages in the current document or only on the selected shapes. Revision Marks will be drawn only on shapes changed in the current working revision.

This menu also contains two commands to remove existing revision marks in a document. One will delete every revision mark, and the other will delete only revision marks connected to elements modified in older than current revision.

Note:

Prior to use the Insert Revision Marks command the proper revision shape and the stencil which the revision mark should be taken from have to be set in Diagrams Options > Revision handling options > Revision Marks > Stencil and Revision Mark Shape.

Note:

All Revision Mark Shapes are created in a separate layer named Revision Marks allowing an easy visibility toggle.
