current plot date updating

[grant_PD]

So I figured out how to have my sheets print with the current date using the "current plot date" record.  But I have to update it manually from the title block border style every time I want the date to be current.  Shouldn't this be automatic?  What am I doing wrong?

Hello Grant,

 

Could you tell me which Vectorworks version are you using? Also, how do you print the sheets? Are you using Publish or Print? And last but not least, do you have your Plot Date Format set to any of the Auto values?

 

Thanks,

Was there any resolution to this? I have the same problem and would love to use "current plot date" I've got a project with over 80 sheets. I have finally gotten smart and started using the Title Block manager, and reduced the number of title blocks to a few, but still it's really annoying to have to manually update. At least it's only in a couple of places

Hello @Mickey,

 

This should be fixed in VW 2019. If you are seeing the problem there, could you send me a test file?
