How to control the hierarchy of revision orders?

[Anonymous]

Hello

I currently work on a large scale project and we do create many revisions weekly. Is there a way where you can control where you want a revision in the sequence number system. Now when we create a revisions it always ends down with the highest seq. nr. and we have to manually move/merge it up which is extremely time demanding, beecause we have more than 300 revisions and new ones is still being created. Some we have to move up 50-100 seq. numbers.

So if there is a add inn or maybe dynamo can do so you have the option for decide a revision seq. number to control hieraki it would be outstanding. Or else it is something Autodesk should consider to create, since I believe we are not the only one with this issue.

the number 45 I want to decide where to place from start when I create, not by move up. Every move takes 15-25 seconds and if we need to move it 50 spaces its easy 20-25 minutes we use.

Best regards

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for checking in.

I'm sorry for the delay in replying - I have checked with the API team who owns this capability and waiting to hear from them.

I'll post an update as soon as I hear back.

Here is an update while the issue is still in progress.

The ReorderRevisionSequence method follows a syntax in the API with C# or VB

The team is testing this revision sequencing as follows:

Step 1: Got a list of all the revisions, by ElementId

Step 2: Made a new revision at the end of the sequence

Step 3: Get element ID of new revision

Step 4: Insert revisions into the list from step 1

Step 5:ReorderRevisionSequence() with the list of IDs

Step 6: check in the UI and confirm if this is required by the customer.

Hi @Anonymous

Please see Edit Sheet Revision by Naviate* 

Dynamo coding is still in testing phase.

Let me know if this helps with your issue.

....so can we now assume that this dynamo solution is not going to be developed?

Do you know what happens when you assume?
