Show system revision on data card

Unread post by Brian-M »

I'm working on a PDM-S (PDM Standard) configuration. I have a Revision variable edit box on the data card, no problem. But off to the side I'd like to show the system stamped revision (the one shown on Version tab, as "local revision"). I had a method in EPDM (it was more difficult than it should have been). I forgot what I did, but also PDM-S has fewer options than PDM-P...
Thanks for any ideas!

I found it in card editor. It was in the static text object type >> Special Value >> Latest revision no
Haven't proven it yet since I have no revisions...

Yes, using the static text with the Latest revision no value will give you the current PDM revision set (not the revision variable).

That must only work for Standard and not Pro? I have wanted to show the "system revision" on data card and have given up. You said you had that working in PDM Pro? If you recall how you did it I would like to hear about it.
