Numbering scheme for revision table

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 12:12:22 GMT

Hello,
We have used sketched symbols for our revisions in the past, we want to start using the revision table feature in Inventor 2008. I wrote a small script that reads the info from the sketched symbols and writes it to the revision table.
How do I control the numbering scheme of the revision table?

Code snippet below:

Private Sub SkrivRevision(ByVal aLasUtRevision As Variant)
'Debug.Print aLasUtRevision(1, 1, 1)
Dim oApp As Application
Set oApp = ThisApplication
Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDrawDoc = oApp.ActiveDocument
Dim oRevTable As RevisionTable
Dim oTG As TransientGeometry
Set oTG = oApp.TransientGeometry
Set oRevTable = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.RevisionTables.Add(oTG.CreatePoint2d(10, 10))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To iMaxRevs
'oRevTable.RevisionTableRows.Add
oRevTable.RevisionTableRows(i).Item(1).Text = aLasUtRevision(1, i, 1) & ""
oRevTable.RevisionTableRows(i).Item(2).Text = aLasUtRevision(2, i, 1) & ""
oRevTable.RevisionTableRows(i).Item(3).Text = aLasUtRevision(3, i, 1) & ""
'Debug.Print sKonvertDate(aLasUtRevision(4, i, 1))
oRevTable.RevisionTableRows(i).Item(4).Text = sKonvertDate(aLasUtRevision(4, i, 1)) & ""
oRevTable.RevisionTableRows(i).Item(5).Text = aLasUtRevision(5, i, 1) & ""
If iMaxRevs - i > 0 Then oRevTable.RevisionTableRows.Add
Next
End Sub

Sorry, control over the numbering scheme is not currently possible via the
API.

Ouch!
Is there any other setting for that, application options etc?
Can I do it via the commandmanager?
I just want to change from the numeric to the alpha option not any custom stuff.

No, not as far as I know.

I got some time over and decided to give this a try again.

I found that I can use the commandmanager to open the dialog for insert revision table using the following code:

Dim oInsertRevTable As ControlDefinition
Set oInsertRevTable = oApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("DrawingRevisionTableCmd")
oInsertRevTable.Execute

Is there a way to pass that I want to use alpha for revision so this command places the revision table without showing the dialogue?
If so how do I know what can be passed to a comand (any command)

Any way of doing this now in Inventor 2010?
