JRoth Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 I can't find any means fo automatically updating the Data in the Data Stamp tool (VW 9.5.2). I'm trying to st it up in our office templates, but it's useless if it had to be manually updated. I need it to follow all of the changes, every time I print or modify it. Am I missing something?

Matthew Giampapa Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 In my spare time I wrote two small menu commands to do this for another customer. You can download them here... Mac and Windows Technical Support is not in the business of writing scripts, so don't count these as official NNA products. I hope they help,Matthew GiampapaNNA Technical Support Quote Link to comment
Matthew Giampapa Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Oh, since they don't have any instructions with them... extract the two .vsm files and put them in your Plug-Ins folder. Then add the menu commands to your workspace, they should be in the Misc section of the Workspace editor. Quote Link to comment
JRoth Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 OK, I've got them in my File menu, but nothing happens. With either of them. What gives? Quote Link to comment
bickel76 Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 i just added the pio and for some reason it only works for me on some files. any idea as to why it doesnt work on some of the drawings? Quote Link to comment
JRoth Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 OK, I've fiddled with it a bit more; does it only work on stamps created after these scripts are added? That would be weird, but it also seems to be the case. Quote Link to comment
Matthew Giampapa Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 It wasn't tested a lot... It specificly tries to update all plug in objects in a document (unless they are part of a symbol) It should work for any Data Stamp object as long as it is from version 9 or later. It won't do anythign to ones from version 8. If you want, the script inside is unlocked and you can make changes if need be. Matthew GiampapaNNA Technical Support Quote Link to comment
Ariel Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Hi Matthew, The link seems to be broken. Where can I download your autoupdate script. tia, Ariel Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 You may want to go to vectorworker.net to get in contact with Matt. You may also find his scripts there. Quote Link to comment
BG Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Try downloading the "print and stamp" tool from Vectordepot. Everytime you print it updates the date & filename on the drawing. You need to have only 1 instance of this in the file though, so to get it on each sheet you need to place the stamp on a "common" layer that is visible on all sheets. Works well though.
