That is not possible without some ilogic programming and would create new files. A pdm solution like vault basic or vault professional would help alot.

Your question was simple: how to insert Revision Number in the part number.

I assume it was the RN from the own part, not a RN coming from other file.

Now you know a way to do it. Case closed.

To change it... Well... Inventor can't guess when you want to stablish a new revision number... right?

You have to edit the iproperty.

You can have RN regarding the parts, the assemblies, the drawing documents, etc... but you have to edit it manually.

Example, if you want to place the model's RN in a drawing, you have to create a text box linking the part (or assembly) RN,  and not the drawing revision number (since every file has is own revision number), depends on what you really want to document.

To have a semi automatic process you will need to use an file manager.

Examle: If you use Autodesk VAULT professional it can be managed semi "automatically".

If you explain better the workflow you want to use, probably there's other options to consider.
Good work!
