Some one once asked if there was a way to update a date on drawing "Automatically". RTEXT came to mind ... but there are other variables that can be used as well. See below.
Location: $(getvar, "dwgprefix")$(getvar, "dwgname")
Created: $(edtime, $(getvar,tdcreate), ddd" DD"-Mon"-YYYY" - HH:MMAM/PM)
Last saved: $(edtime, $(getvar,tdupdate), ddd" DD"-Mon"-YYYY" - HH:MMAM/PM)
Printed: $(edtime, 0, ddd" DD"-Mon"-YYYY" - HH:MMAM/PM); Dispays current system time
Printed By: $(getvar, "loginname");Curent User
Total editing time $(edtime, $(getvar,tdindwg), HH:MM)
**********************************
Also, RTEXT can be found on the express tools menu.
Select Text - Remote Text
OR type in "rtext"
At the command line enter D for diesel, a dialog box will pop up enter the following string in it:
$(edtime, $(getvar,tdupdate),DDD"," DD MON YYYY - H:MMam/pm)
you can then place the text where you want, it will update any time the drawing is saved.
Hope this helps someone out there.
