Mike Wood Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Is there any way that I'm not thinking of to have older revision data use a different class and text style than current revision data? Since the revision data text only references the current revision, and then the revision history settings themselves are set in the revision settings screen, I can't think of a way to do it. I'd basically like to have two classes and two text styles, one for current and one for all previous. Current would be bold, and previous would be non-bold italic. In the above image - in the title block layout manager, that first line of text is all linked to the revision fields. Then in the revision manager, it's set to show multiple revisions and I've nudged the scale to make it wrap to that other line in the table. What'd be even better is the ability to choose specific revision data to display in text fields. for example, I could have a 6 line table and then row two could be set to Revision-1, row three to Revision-2, etc etc. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted January 8 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 8 Hello @Mike Wood, Currently there is no way to set up different class/text style for the different revisions in the TBB layout. You can use the Latest Revision/Issue Date custom formula to get just the latest data in a separate text and style it differently (you should be able to create similar custom formulas for Number, Note and other Issue/Revision fields). However, you will still have the latest data appear in the regular issue/revision linked text. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment

Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov That's an interesting idea - Might be able to accomplish what I'm looking for with some carefully stacked text, since in theory the current will be bold and I could hide the other underneath. Thanks! I'll experiment. Quote Link to comment
