A part’s revision scheme sets how its revision values increment. You assign a scheme when you create the part, and you can move the part to a different scheme later. To create, edit, or delete the schemes available to your org, see Configure part revision schemes.

Assign a scheme to a part

When creating a part, pick the scheme from the Revision Scheme dropdown in the Create Part dialog. New parts start at the scheme’s first value, for example A, 1, or 00-1. Subsequent revisions auto-increment along the scheme.

Change the scheme on an existing part

Change the Revision Scheme field in the part’s Part Information card to move the part to a different scheme. Two strategies map the current revision into the new scheme:
  • Cast: change the scheme and map the current revision into the new scheme’s sequence. A part at revision D cast into a NN-N scheme becomes 00-4.
  • Reset: change the scheme through a new revision and start over at the scheme’s initial value. A part at revision D reset into a NN-N scheme becomes 00-1.
For the API equivalents (updatePart to cast, createPartRevision to reset), see Parts and Part Revisioning.
