NumberType Property

Indicates what number type the Revision Number for this Revision should use.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)
Since: 2015

Syntax

C# 
public RevisionNumberType NumberType { get; set; }
Visual Basic 
Public Property NumberType As RevisionNumberType
	Get
	Set
Visual C++ 
public:
property RevisionNumberType NumberType {
	RevisionNumberType get ();
	void set (RevisionNumberType value);
}

Remarks

This property defines how the RevisionNumber will be assigned and displayed.
  • RevisionNumberType.Numeric: Numeric Revisions will use consecutive positive integers starting with 1.
  • RevisionNumberType.Alphabetic: Alphabetic Revisions will use consecutive strings generated from the RevisionAlphabet specified in the project's RevisionSettings.
  • RevisionNumberType.None: The Revision Number will always be the empty string.
Revision numbers will always be assigned in revision sequence order.

If the project contains a mix of Revision objects with different NumberTypes then the Revisions using a particular NumberType will always be assigned consecutive revision numbers. In other words, the first three numeric Revisions in the project will always be assigned revision numbers 1, 2, and 3, even if the revision sequence includes intervening Revisions that are alphabetic or not numbered.
