ISO 19650 Compliance - Revisioning

[shorter]

ISO19650 requires two fields: Status and Revision, to be added as metadata, along with others.

The revision code is composed of three parts: a letter and two sets of numbers, separated by a fullstop.

e.g.

P01.01

We need to be able to enter a revision code like this AND utilise automatic revisioning via the Title Block Manager.

Current behaviour means we have to use either 'letters' or 'numbers' in the revision numbering options to ensure that when we add a revision to multiple sheets VW adds the next revision to all sheets as opposed to the same revision if we set the revision numbering options to manual.

We need three fields in the revision data tab:

Preliminary or Contractual = P or C (and the means to add our own)

Revision Number

Sub-Revision Number (with option to ignore this and when ignored incrementally increase the Revision Number only).

We also need others fields and have been asking for many years...  We need 'Approved' and 'Checked' fields in the Revision Data tab.

 

Note ISO19650 is an international standard, not peculiar to the UK as BS1192 was so some compliance with international standards is becoming expected of all CAD software.

Generally in our company we use the sheet number as the initial page number i.e. Z001 A002 and revision numbers for post amendments - i.e. Z001 - (rev .01) This then can be modified in a worksheet that references the sheet name, number and revision - and can be edited dynamically

The frustrating thing is that non-compliance in vectorworks is far easier than compliance!
