FORMING, TOOLING AND REVISIONS / FIELD NOTE 37
Managing Revisions in Freeform Panel Schedules
Changing the parent surface can affect many panels even if only one elevation note changed. Marking the new drawing revision alone leaves the factory to infer which parts need attention.
What to check on your project
Export the affected IDs and compare surface, trim, holes and finish for each changed row. Record the current production state and agree whether existing parts may be used, reworked or held.
Worked example
A change to one seam can move the trim of two adjacent parts while leaving their forming surfaces intact. Tag both IDs and ask whether the current blank has enough allowance for the revised trim. A change to face curvature needs a different review because it may affect the forming setup.
