Using Special Strings - VersionControl_RevNumber
If you wish to display the same SVN Ver on all of your Schematic pages and *.PCBDoc.
*.SchDoc - Special String =VersionControl_RevNumber
*.Pcbdoc Special String .VersionControl_RevNumber
AD16.1.12
SVN# .VersionControl_RevNumber
In the Project Panel > Right Click on Source Documents > Open All.
Then RClick Source Documents > Save All.
Then RClick on the Project.PrjPcb > Version Control > Commit Whole Project.
The .VersionControl_RevNumber works in the PcbDoc, however you may need to save, close and open the Pcbdoc to display the special stringl .VersionControl_RevNumber.
You may need to first enter .VersionControl_RevNumber then edit the text string and add any prefixes or suffixes as desired, i.e. SVN# .VersionControl_RevNumber
The '.VersionControl_RevNumber' bug. Notice Altium will add leading and trailing single quote characters to .VersionControl_RevNumber string in the PCB editor, you must also remove the quotes.
In the schematic if the SVN Ver Number is not displayed, try holding down your Ctrl Key and roll the mouse wheel, the page should refresh and display the =.VersionControl_RevNumber string.
One more PCB Special String Syntax example:
