Cookie_NZ Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hi all, I'm using Cloud Publish to render some PDFs of a job. When I publish them the plot date changes from UK format to US format. The plot date in my title block is in UK format as below DD/MM/YYYY: I tried changing to manual entry from Auto. They come back every time as MM/DD/YYYY: Any thoughts much appreciated!

Kevin McAllister Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'm not sure you have any control over this. I believe the date format is driven by the system running VW. All the cloud renderings are done on virtual Windows machines. There may be a cloud option to turn off auto-updating of plugin objects but that is not an ideal solution. Kevin Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted June 1, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hello @Cookie_NZ, I have tested using Manual Plot Date format and did not have any changes in my date value. Could you verify that you are using Manual Plot Date Format in the TBBs you publish and you have the correct Current Plot Date manually set before publishing? Using Manual format should not change the value of the plot date. Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
Cookie_NZ Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi @Nikolay Zhelyazkov , Thanks for the response. Interestingly having made no further changes to the title block, the third time I sent renders off to the cloud servers they came back with the date in the correct manual order. Perhaps a bit of a glitch there? Cheers, Cookie Quote Link to comment

Let me know here if this happens again and you are able to reproduce it with a test file. Thanks, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment
