Enable drawing sheet revision in API

[JoschaWondraschek]

When right-clicking on a sheet in a drawing you can edit the revision of only the sheet, not like in the iProperties of the whole drawing (including all sheets).

It would be nice, if it's possible to read/write this property over the API.

Using iLogic or VB, the properties for a drawing sheet's Name and size are available.  However, I can't find a way to reference the object for the Sheet Revision.  This is different than the iProperty for the drawing file Revision.

Hi @JoschaWondraschek 

It's possible like this (i-Logic):

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

Dim sSheetRevision As String
sSheetRevision = "2"

oSheet.Revision = sSheetRevision

@fsanchou, did you test your above code? There is no Revision property on the Sheet object. Running your code just throws an error to that effect.

@DRoam,  this revision property exist in 2019 version Sheet Object. I do not remember if this is new in this version.

Edit : by reading Sheet.Revision Property : Introduced in version 2019

[DRoam]

My apologies -- you are correct! The "Revision" property was added in 2019. The direct link to it in the documentation is broken, but you can see it listed under the Sheet properties here: Inventor 2019 Help: Sheet Object.

I'll report this Idea and ask the moderators to mark it as implemented. Thanks for sharing that, @fsanchou!

Actually, @dan_szymanski is probably the guy to ping for that. Dan, please see above. Thanks!

[DRoam]

@dan_szymanski, this is a duplicate of the other idea I just tagged you in and could be marked as implemented. Thanks!

Before it gets closed: Thank you guys for your help! 🙂

Thanks for confirming that this is now Implemented 🙂

The code above from fsanchou works great for the sheet revision!   Thank you for the code!!
