Designers and engineers sometimes are required to make changes to their drawings. If there is any change in the document, it is required to be given a revision number, the verification and validation date, and person. SOLIDWORKS Electrical can automate the process with just a few clicks. Not only that, when the document is revised you can take a snapshot of the design.
