halfcoupler Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Does anyone know whether it is possible to have something like "default date = now" in a textfield ? I want to have the printdate automatcally updated on a sheet layer when printed or published. Quote Link to comment
Hippocode Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Does anyone know whether it is possible to have something like "default date = now" in a textfield ? I want to have the printdate automatcally updated on a sheet layer when printed or published. Pas possible. The best thing you can do is to write a script that sets the current date into a field of your drawing border. In fact you could even add the publish command to it as well so you have your custom command that sets the correct date, then prompts you the publish dialog. This makes sure you don't forget to set the correct date prior to publishing. On the other hand, there are some tools running around the web offering such capabilties, for a small price.

halfcoupler Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks for your reply. I already feared that there is no easyer way, although I think this should be standard to the database that is beyond the record formats. Up to now I haven't worked with scripting in VW at all, and my knowledge of python is reduced to "hello world". Maybe this will be a first script to start with... Salutations de l'autre côté de la frontière ;-) Quote Link to comment
