tkasuboski Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have been asked about how to do the revisions of older drawings to current practice. When these older drawings are redone, we are to list all that was changed in a revision. Currently we have a attribute that we fill in with the change. Example: Rev#/date/description/done by & check by. Which looks something like 1| 04/30/14 | Ø3.025±.005 was Ø3.045±.003 | BBD/TBK Sometimes there are more items to add but will not fit in the line provided. Example: 1| 04/30/14 | Ø3.025±.005 was Ø3.045±.003 | (New line) |Added center holes on the end of the shaft| (New line) |Item #1 was Ø3.25 X 12.00|BBD/TBK Is this correct? OR should each one of those changes be a new revision? Other words what is shown above is all that was changed under revision 1 on that date. Or should it be revision 1 - 3 but under the same date??

ReMark Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 A single revision number for all three of those revisions would suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamensterms Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I agree with ReMark. Sometimes, if the changes are obvious but are too great to be described in a single revision description, we just cloud the changes and put "revised as clouded" into the revision block. Of course, the greater the detail of the revision description - the better. But it is not always possible. Also keep in mind, a generic revision description is not always acceptable. Depends on the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryG Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 If we need to explain a revision we put the text next to the Revision Cloud. It would never fit in the Title block itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 our drawings only refer to a DESIGN REVIEW number. The design review document then lists all the changes and reason for those changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do you use a revision cloud for all changes and a rev triangle with each cloud? The narrative seems completely unnecessary. If they require a detailed list then you may need a bigger rev block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
