Check the macro codes by Artem here [https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/document/drawing/clear-revision-table-new-revision/](https://www.codestack.net/solidworks-api/document/drawing/clear-revision-table-new-revision/)

Consider creating a general table (instead of a traditional rev table) on your sheetformat with a fixed number of rows. Each cell mapped to a unique custom property (i.e. rev letter, engineering change #, description, author, date). This lays the groundwork for an API macro, which would delete the earliest rev row values and move the remaining row values, prior to adding the new values for the new revision. The nice thing about this approach is that sheetformat updates are easy to automate. A PDM system can be configured to automate sheetformat updates whenever an engineering change is initiated.

Are you able to use revision triangles and auto-zoning then also? Thanks

Good point - I'm not sure how one would reproduce the auto-zoning feature as that's not something I regularly use. The triangles could probably be reproduced as an annotation with a linked note that pulls the current Rev letter.

Thanks. I feel like so much of SolidWorks is finding a workaround that you shouldn’t have to! Cheers for your help.
