Use the special string =VersionControl_RevNumber.

You can find a full list of strings on Altium documentation. The strings are separate for Shecmatics and PCB.

Schematic special strings start with a = and PCB special strings start with a .. When you start typing, Altium will give you suggestions for the available strings, so you can find the right one even if you don't know the full string.

  • A bit more explanation on special strings would be good in case the link breaks... – ThreePhaseEel Oct 28 '17 at 13:17
  • @ThreePhaseEel Thanks, I edited my answer. I did consider copying the list of strings from the docs, but that would make a very long answer that would eventually get out of date. – Armandas Oct 28 '17 at 23:25
  • Great answer. I asked similarly, and was told there was no linkage to SVN. – Leroy105 Oct 29 '17 at 05:39
