1eo Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Greetings, In some of the layouts that I use, have the current date included .... Some how, my most common mistake is to forget change the date when I'm plotting a new copy!!! Is there any way to make it automate???

tuekappel Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 if you plot via the "Publish" option, you have the posibility to add a plot stamp, with name, date, free text, file path, etc... dunno if that answered your question.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinevoices Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 ^yes you can also access that dialog window by simply typing "plotstamp" in the command line... you might have to adjust the margin to fit in the area you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Thompson Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 AutoCAD 2005 now supports "fields" which can hold date data, - creation date, plot date, last saved date etc. Have a look at the AutoCAD help on this. I put these fields in the attribute data of my title blocks and they update automatically. Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutaj Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 is there a variable that needs to be changed for that to work? I've given up on fields as a plot stamp, since i have to manually type in updatefield every time before I plot. so I went back to the desiel routine, which updates every regen.
