Title Block Prompts?

[Anonymous]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to arrange the prompt entries of my
template to come up in the order I want?
or do I have to create them in the order I want cause that would sorta (Edited by moderator)?
Thanks
Jesse

the only problem I see with that is in a production environment. Notes and
other production information on drawing needs to get updated at times
causing a rev change without any model changes. You wouldn't want to have to
rev the model without a for no reason. Production Vs engineering
(prototype) documentation is the real issue controlling how you handle your
revisions.

R6 introduced it. See what you get for missing a release

I disagree. Even if I make a change to a print only (maybe a weld notation)
I rev the model.

IMO, the model is the master. All info is based on the model. So you rev
the model even if no "physical" changes are made.

Brian,

I agree with you. The problem I have is that I can't get some of the
properties of the model to work.
For example: Description, Designer and Part Number work fine
Project and Engineer don't work
I have tried these several times and I can't seam to get them to work.
