Roll Back Release

I recently made a minor error on a first revision of a drawing that was reviewed and released, both the reviewer and I missed this error. Is it possible to roll back the release, correct the error and release it as Rev A? I'm aware of ISO 900X requirements that may look down upon this practice, but for a drawing that hasn't even been printed once there seems like there should be an exception. I would hate to create a revision for such a minor fix. I reference Solidworks PDM that allows you to roll back versions deleting previous releases.

    You can make the revision as "obsolete" (from the "show revision history" dialogue) and there is a checkbox in the obsoletion dialogue to allow reusing the number. If you check it, you can then do a new release at the same level (after you've corrected the issue).
    The main drawback is that if you have to fix something in a part/assembly as well and not just the drawing you have obsolete each item manually one by one.

    This just saved me, thanks! Only other thing that you need to do is re-type the release description in the revision table. Mine is blank, but I can live with that.

    Also to add, if you forget to check the "allow re-release" button (or whatever its called), support can help you out. Ask me how I know;)
