Note: Before you do this, you must record basic information about the part or assembly.

To Record Design and Revision Information in the Master Tab

  1. If the part’s drawing number is different from the part number, type the drawing number in the Drawing Number box.

  2. Type the part’s engineering drawing size in the Drawing Size box. Standard engineering drawing sizes are A through E.

  3. In the Revision Date box, enter the date of the drawing’s last revision.

  4. Include values to the Last ECO No box:
