I have created Template as per my compnay standards and would like save its as my company standard template (*.idw) file. Everything is done but i need add PLOT DATE on the template file. In autocad its possible by adding fields in text.So i followed the same procedure to add PLOT DATE in inventer template. But i dont find any option for adding PLOT DATE. There is any option available to add field expression or something to get the output plot date ????
I am aware of the plot stamp available in the Plot Dialog box, however, we are looking at ways to imbed this info in the dwg. I currently have the WD_TB with an attribute for FULLFILENAME, an attribute for PLOT DATE, and an attribute for PLOT TIME12. So I get the information on the dwg. I would like to be able to run all these attributes as a string. I have tried FULLFILENAME|PLOT DATE|PLOT TIME12 with spaces, commas, ( ), " ", etc. and I do not know the proper syntax to get this to work. I have also tried (getenv "FULLFILENAME") or the getvar, in the title descriptions box.
Having this issue with IE9? I have a table driven iPart that has an expression in the description field. The expression is =PL <THICK> x <WIDTH>, so that as the thickness and width change the description of this plate also changes. I have recently added rows to this part for the use of bar instead of plate on certain shapes. In order for the bar description to match standard steel shape nomenclature the expression on these parts needs to be =BAR <WIDTH> x <THICK>. How can I add the description to the iPart table so that I can simply edit the bar parts to be as needed?
Some things to note:
1.) These are custom iParts so when the item is inserted you select the thickness, file name, save location, etc.
2.) There are about 705 lines to this iPart right now and I would prefer not to go higher.
3.) I would like to keep these as the same iPart instead of having two different files.
4.) I need the description to be an expression because long after these parts are placed, they sometimes change and I need the dimensions to update after the fact like all our other parts (so don't forget that these one won't and then the drawings are incorrect).

This is the first I've noticed this, but a sketch in an assembly does not allow to show the dimensions as an expression? In a .ipt sketch you can right click and the pop-up menu has an option to show the dimensions in different forms. I do not get this in an assembly sketch.
I do not know if this is me or not. It's just curious that it does not do that.
All of a sudden I notice that when I open a file in Autocad Architecture, it shows the file creation date and not the actual last save date. Only thing I can think of is I reinstalled 3dsmax Design and I wonder if that changed something. I attached a screenshot for reference.

I have one drawing per file at model tab. When I need to plot a multiple page file, I use:
Print > Batch Plot.
The problem is that I have to set plot configurations ( plot style table, plot area, paper size, etc) in each file before use Batch Plot.
Now I received 722 files with a wrong Plot Style Table. For this time I change the associated *.ctb file at Plot Style folder, but I will need to associate the right *.ctb to each drawing. It's also common to have to change other properties.
I want to know how to create name, date, drawing no. ETC,=.... automatically, In title block in inventor. i don't know how to give type and property in that its not accepting, its showing what i am typed
I have a configuration file (.xlsx) where I have put in Client, project number and a date (as a custom iproperty). These cells are linked to the iProperties in the IDWs. The project number and client works well, however im struggling with the date. The date is written dd.mm.yyyy in excel, and Date1 is set to date type.
When I run the rule Date1 changes type from Date to Number, and inserts a random number.
By inserting this
Date1 = DateString()
The date is converted to mm-dd-yyyy, but with wrong dates. If I write 15.10.2013 in Excel it will write the date as 08-01-2013. How to get it written lik 15.10.2013?
Currently in autocad we start the print/plot command and then the command line shows options for the drawing stamp. There are several options including for approval, approved for construction, test only and others. When the appropriate number associated with the correct drawing stamp it lets you pick an insertion point and inserts the drawing stamp with a current date under the stamp to show when the drawing was plotted. After the drawing stamp is inserted it returns to the print/plot dialog.
If any IV users have a similar drawing stamp with date that is put on their drawings, I would like to hear how it was accomplished.
I have played with a sketched symbol and with ilogic can insert the symbol and start the print/plot command but I do not know how to make the stamp selection in ilogic automatic with a parameter or iproperty.
If ilogic is the way to go with this or any other options to accomplish the drawing stamp insertions with current date.
In the drawing title block I would like to place a text reading the print, date and time. This should reflect the current system date and time. I would have this done on the template file so that all new drawings will have this feature builtin.
Is there a property that i can have the text to link to?
Is there any third party program for this?

I have included both a text and a date as part of the photo caption on each of my photos. When I have attempted to search for a specific date or year, however, nothing comes up. For example, if I search for my photo on "Fido 1985", I can find Fido, but if I simply enter "1985", I get nothing.
Has it become a possible option to automatically grab the Date-of-shoot (instead of the DAYToday) when renaming files (that should show shooting- date) in LR5?
I've got some 500 photos in a folder which were imported on two different dates. I've created a new album on the right hand side under "Organize" and just the photos I want are in there. When I look at the folder on the right, all the pictures are there. But I can't call up just that folder; instead what I get on my screen is all 2500 photos in all my photo albums! Not what I want! What I want to get is all the photos in the order in which they were taken on the actual day as all 500 photos were taken at the same day. And I want to be able to view just the 500 photos in that folder by the time those pictures were taken. But, when I imported the second batch of photos it showed the date the file was created rather than the date the photo was taken so, basically, I've got one batch of photos showing the date they were taken (which I downloaded via a link a few days later), and one showing the date they were copied!
I recently set up Elements 12. Prior to this I used elements 11. In that catalog I have more photos that I don't want. So I decided to export the ones I want then import into PSE 12. As I do this many of the dates on the pictures change from the date taken to the current date. I have tried several different ways and can't stop the dates changing. I am putting them into mobile albums in PSE 12 if that makes a difference.
running on Windows 7 is seeing files categorized in his Inventor Routed Systems Open dialog categorized by:
Today Yesterday Last Week Last Month
He doesn't recall it always being like that (and I've never seen it on any system I've used).
When he opens a Word file, those files are not categorized that way.If he switches to "List" he just gets all files but he doesn't get the detail he wants if he were using "Detail".

I have my autocad drawings setup that in the corner of all autocad drawings the time and date changes everytime you open drawings in autocad. i want to do the samething for my inventor drawings.
I've inserted <CREATION DATE> into the custom title blocks I normally use for drawings. It displays the date without preceding zeros (example: June 18, 2013 is displayed as "6/18/2013" instead of "06/18/2013"). How can I change this?
My company has a custom property named 'Released date, Type Date.
This date is still empty
I am working on a rule that adds all the custom properties required for the company title block.
This rule can be useful whenever you get a model from a supplier.
I can add a custom property date using the following
Dim oDoc As Document = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim customPropertySet As PropertySet = oDoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties") Try iProperties.Value("Custom", "Released Date") = iProperties.Value("Custom", "Released Date") Catch
[Code]...
This code works but sets the released date to Now.
But the release date needs to remain blank when adding.
I tried to make the value Null but I get the error:
"Value of type 'System.DBNull' cannot be converted to 'Date'."
Is there a way to keep a custom property date blank?
I'm trying to find a macro that will insert text into a certain spot on my drawing. I want to put it on a button so that when I click the button it inserts "REVISION - 12/5/12", or whatever the current date is, into my title block.
Why does the capture date in the metadata panel not match the capture date seen in the grid extra view and how do I fix it? The images that I have in my library are digitized negatives and I've corrected the capture dates and times to be accurate; however, the capture date and in the metadata window shows what I've changed it to and the date in both the grid extra view and the Metadata>Edit Capture Time... options both reflect the date the image was last modified. Not all of the images in my library are this way and some show the correct information. When sorted by Capture Time, all images fall exactly where they should in the proper order (based on the changed, corrected edit time and not the modified date). I saved metadata to the file with the new date but it didn't fix it.
