IMHO, Windchill is the most non-intuitive, user-unfriendly, convoluted, time wasting load of crap that I have ever encountered.
There, now I feel better.

one of my favorites is when you go to revise a file you are presented with a text entry box to enter the new revision. my company uses revisions A1, B1, etc. if you accidentally use a lower case letter, it just doesn't work. no error. no dialog box popping up saying something went wrong. it just won't work and it won't tell you that it didn't work or why it didn't work. if type in a capital letter then all is good in the world.
PTC software at its finest!

You shouldn't need to type anything in. It should increment automatically to the next appropriate level. If you have to type it in, someone didn't configure it correctly.
if it incremented by a letter or a number only I'd agree with you. but in our case, we had a reason to possibly revise from A1 to B1 to B2 to C1 to C2 to C3 to D1, etc. most of us in the office no longer follow this protocol and increment the letter with every change. but when the system was implemented management believed there was a reason to keep the letter revision the same but increment the number.
in this case, there's no way for the software to know if you are increment the letter or the number so it requires manual entry.
