Automatically Include Plot Date?

[zonian 0]

I am new to VectorWorks and would like to know how to automatically have the date a sheet is plotted added to a sheet when it is plotted. How can this be done?

Go to Vectordepot.com and get the plug-in. I don't recall the name. It will print the file name and time of printing.

EJ; I do the same, but I believe this person wants to have the date printed on the drawing.

I am fairly new at VW as well, but I did find a tool, in the workspace editor called Data Stamp (under all tools) , which is a date stamp. I put it on our title blocks for the same reason. The only problem I have with it is that updates the date after you print and not before you print, unless you click on it to update it.

We always plot to PDF ... hence the PDF file 'creation date' = Plot date.

Thanks for the information. I have played around with a few options and for the time being am using the Data Stamp tool.

Thanks for all of your help.
