ISSUE: Revision table template

I am trying to export our revision table as a template, but its not saving the extra row I added for our revision 0. We start our drawings at rev 0, and show this in the revision block. Since the first rev that shows up when you do a "Add revision" is 1, we add a 0 row manually.

The reason why I need this for a template is 1.) When modifying old drawings, we update our sheetformat, which doest contain the new revision (i dont believe there is a way to add the revision table to the sheet format) and 2.) Every SolidWorks user would like their own rev table with their data filled in. Since I cannot get custom properties to work in the rev table, I need to do this.

Attached is what our base rev table looks like, the second image is what I get when I save it as a template.

Im suprised I havent received any responses on this. Do most people use the SolidWorks revision block, or do they create their own using Excel or another OLE object? We use to have just plain lines and text, that was a PITA.

I still use the PITA way :-)

Bad enough SW buggering around with toolbox and BOMs in the past I tend to not trust their helpful features for a few years :-)

As far as I know, it will not do what you are wanting it to do. It will only save the heading line in the template. Anything below that is considered a revision line and would therefore not be part of the template.

At least this is the way I see it anyway...
