Sheet Data - Auto Current Plot Date Format


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to use Auto Long Format Current Plot Date in Title Block, and using Current Plot Date in Short Format when using in the naming scheme of a publish PDF ?

 

I would like the Published PDF file to be Sht-2-Sheet Title-2021-03-11.pdf and not Sht-2-Sheet Title-March 11_ 2021.pdf but keep the Title block showing date as March 11, 2021.

 

Thanks

Hello @setdesigner,

 

This is not possible if you want to use the Current Plot Date field only. However, you can use the Sheet Data.Date field for the Publish name, since it is in short format. That way you will have short date for the name and whatever is defined in the Plot Date Format for the Current Plot Date in the title block.

 

Best Regards,

Thank you Nikolay,

 

Yes I have tried that, but since it is not automatic, it is not suitable for me.

I tried to put a Data Tag with automatic date into a Title Block Border style symbol (by editing the Title Block Layout graphics), put it seems to cause frequent crashes.

Thanks

Simon

Hello Simon,

 

Can you give me steps how to reproduce the crashes that you are seeing or make a screen recording?

 

Thanks,
