Rev Drawings

Hi,

I am setting up procedures for CAD in my office at the moment. I would like some help with a few things though. Would appreciate any thoughts.

**Rev**

If I start working on a drawing with say 5 tabs in it. As I work I issue the drawings but then one of them needs to be changed, reved up and re-issued. How do people name the file then. I had the idea that my original file would be say L2492-LA.dwg and the reved up one would be L2492-LA - Rev1.dwg. The problem is that only some of the drawings are at rev 1. I don't want to divide the layouts into separate drawings.

**Issued Drawings**

When people issue drawings do they generally use eTransmit to keep a dwg record of the file themselves or is it only a dwf/pdf copy that they keep themselves. We are having this discussion at the moment.

Thanks..

are your drawing a series or different??

i work in road design

so if i had more than one road marking drawing i would have each drawing on a tab so would save the drawing

RM/01-02-03

for road marking draws one to five

so if 2 was reved i would then have

RM/01-02A-03

Thanks for that but what do you do when you send out the first one without any rev. Do you just take a pdf copy or do you save out a full dwg with bound xref's??

i pdf them
