I have often wondered whether it is best to stear clear of "intelligent document numbering" (some sort of system which includes information other than a sequential number). The reasoning is that if the product changes in a way that was not originally thought of, then the system my not be adaptable to the new product. Perhaps it is best simply to have a sequential number which applies to any sort of document be it PCB layout, mechanical CAD drawing, etc. It is also necesarry to have some sort to revision number, which might be separate from the number on the drawing itself. So what I am saying is, do not do this :- Example PCB layout -> PCB-LAYER1-12345-GTA02_core rev 3 Example CAD drawing -> DWG-MOULDING-12345-GTA02_core rev 3 Instead do this :- Example PCB layout -> 0000001 rev 3 Example CAD drawing -> 0000002 rev 3 What does anyone else think? -- Ben Thompson _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
