At our office I use a pretty simple system which is has part of nearly all posts so far.
Job No. and Client Job No. has its own attribute in the title block, the clients no. is just before the drg no. in the same line. Our drg no. is just tucked into a corner for our ref. The revision is also in its own spot and big enough to see clearly.
This would be a typical drawing no. in its own spot.
A-SD.2-001
A is the block/area/zone if required
SD is the discipline, ie Steel/Shop Details
.2 is the identifier of the type of drg, ie marking plans and .3 may be fittings.
-001 is the drg no. in the series.
This enables us to 'slip' in more drawings into the series when needed.
When saving the actual drg file I would save it as CLIENTJOBNO-A-SD.2-001 Rev A.dwg, this way when issuing to the client they can easily see which revision is the latest as more often than not they don't have a good filing system.
For filing in our office we have 3 folders in the job directory, Work In progress, As Issued and Superseded.
When a file is in progress its in WIP and when it's ready to issue it gets moved to as issued and made 'read only'. This gives you a quiet reminder that you should save this drawing back to WIP as the next rev when you first try to save your new changes
The revised drawing is re-issued, the old rev is moved into Superseded and so on.
It seems like a bit of work but it works very well, you can quickly look in the job folder and see exactly what's in progress and what current issue is.
