automatically update vault check in with rev history

[bengee5454]

The following has been copied from my discussion on the Vault forum and it was suggested that i put it here:

I was thinking that it would be nice if the comments on the Vault check in was automatically updated with the revision history (for the current revision).

For example;

check out drawing.dwg

amend

update rev history - eg. Diameter dim added

check-in drawing.dwg

- at the bottom of the check-in splash screen the comments section is automatically populated with Diameter dim added

Is this possible? perhaps with a bit of ilogic? - its all to easy to just click through the screen and not add any comments!

on thinking further......perhaps adding a button on the Vault Check-In dialog to allow you to update with the rev history if desired would be better.
- I guess sometimes you may not want to update with the rev history, if you check out to amend a typo for example.

The reason I thought an option might be nice to choose whether or not to add the info from the rev table is that i thought there may some repetition in the comments (for the different versions) that isn't neccessary. If for instance a drawing is revised to change the length of a part and add a note. The rev history would say:

Rev Description
B Length changed & note added

When checked in the comments would update with: Length changed & note added

Then once checked in you realise that you've made a small typo (in the note), so you check out, correct, check in - wouldnt you want the comment to be: typo amended, and not Length & note added?

Guess what I'm trying to say is it would be nice to perhaps differentiate between rev change and version change....
