Guys,
im currently trying to move my new office onto revit (design suite 2012) and we use a file management system to issue drawings, now in the past ive always added my revisions and issued from revit using a text box (the tool never worked for me) however my QA guy is adamant we use revits revision tool, but we use P1, T1, C1 etc for our revisions can the tool be customised to reflect this as it only shows alphabetic or numeric at present???

So far i have not found a way to change that. People just have to understand that revit will be different. You will have to go numeric or alphabetic by my understanding, nothing else. So number and letters combinations are not possible if you are using Revits revision schedule and tool. I think it will be easier for you to just go ahead and switch over. Just have the revision description reflect T1 or C1 or so on. but thats it from my understanding. I may be wrong but i have done LOADS of research on this same thing (been using revt for YEARS)

I think the revision tool works great. Does it do Alpha-numeric numbering? NO ... But otherwise, we have been using it for years without any problems.
Sometimes we just have to adapt.

I agree, i love how the revisiont tool currently works. All you have to do is adapt your current method to how revit revision schedule works and it's all gravy from there. The revision schedule on the titleblock will auto populate and stay up to date with no upkeep. I LOVE IT, and have no problems with it. If you are trying to change it, then you will have problems. So with that said, just adapt and its all good. I've been using revit from when it started and was Revit building and etc.
I'm glad to see that Autodesk and Revit are doing an overhaul of Revit in 2013 software. So that plumbing will be revamped and made to match up with the Mechanical and Electrical disciples of Revit MEP

Came here as i was googling a fix for this, but ended up making a workaround for the Prefix (P1) issue as part of the revision schedule in the titleblock.
I have never used the "Issued To" field in the Sheet Issues/Revisions pallete when issuing drawings. So I added this available field to the schedule and located it above the "Revision Number" field in the scheduled order. This way the column appears to the left of the "Revision Number" field.
Now when issuing, I fill out the field "Issued To" as the desired prefix. In this case P. Which represents preliminary for my purposes. The revision now appears the way I want as P1.
I also edit the tag in the titleblock to include "Current Revision Issued To" and "Current Revision" fields, to represent P1.
Added benefit being no manual text in issuing process and I can drop off the "Issued To" field if I need to.
Hope this helps
