Revision History
The Revision History in CAD ROOMS tracks every revision of an individual file β giving teams full traceability over its lifecycle from design to release.
Overview
Each time a file is updated or released, CAD ROOMS automatically records a new revision.
This ensures all changes β both minor and major β are traceable, reviewable, and recoverable.
Revision Types
Type | Example | Created By | Description |
Minor Revision | A.1 β A.2 | Revision Upload | Internal design update (e.g., geometry change, drawing tweak) |
Major Revision | A.2 β B.1 | Manual Release or ECO | Official release for production, client, or compliance |
How to View Revision History
- Go to your Project β Files tab.
- Right-click the file β select Revisions.
- A panel appears showing:
- Revision number (e.g., A.1, A.2, B.1)
- Contributor name
- Timestamp
- Revision description (if added)
You can also view revision history directly in the 3D Viewer using the Revision Dropdown Menu.
