Adding date to drawing

[dmiller327]

Can anyone provide assitance with adding the creation date and/or the current date automatically in a ug drawing.

I have other model attributes setup in my customized sheet template working ok but I have not been able to figure out the date.

I've tried <W@$DATE> and variation of it without success.

Thanks,

I managed to create this:


In de expression editor (in modeling -> Ctrl-E) create the following expressions (all type string):


MyDate = StringUpper(dateTimeString("localTime?", True))
MyDay = subString(MyDate, 9, 10)
MyMonth = subString(MyDate, 5, 7)
MyYear = subString(MyDate, 21, 25)
MyTimeStamp = MyDay + " " + MyMonth + " " + MyYear


Then in Drafting pasted this text into a note: <X0@MyTimeStamp>


Update with Tools -> Update -> Update for External Change

I have added this to our start part drawings and it works great.

Is there a way to freeze the value so that a creation date of the drawing remains unchanged by subsequent regenerations.

Both an automated fixed "creation date" and a "last modified date" on our drawings would be a great.

Thanks,
