Time & Date Format

[d.stairmand]

I have a Title Sheet with a Date Label
It always sets itself up as per the American Date Format - MMDDYY
When placing the date label - ther is no "format or units" option.

How do i change to my local Format - DDMMYY

Mine seem to format normal UK style - day/month/year

I suspect this is set in Windows Regional settings not in Revit?

Willim is right, it's based on your Windows settings

My system settings are for DDMMYY, all set as UK standards, yet my dates still get shown as MMDDYY. I have no idea why, and the problem has persisted since Revit 8 (I'm on RA 2008 now)

Hmm, strange - I've just tried putting a date/time stamp on a title block in a 'clean' demo version of Revit 2008 and the formatting is 31/10/2007 normal UK style.

Looking in Control Panel->Regional Settings there are both language and location to set to UK English or United Kingdom (there is a third place in fact in the Advanced tab for non-Unicode programs but mine says US English and so can't make any difference here ).

In the Regional Options default main tab and Customise button, I have the Date set as short format dd/MM/yyyy and long format as dd MMMM yyyy if that is any help.

After looking at the settings, there does not seem to be a way to automatically format the date the way we have done manually.

Is there a way to change the date format to :

JAN 15 2000
JUL 23 2008

???
