How to show "last printed" or "path" text in layout

[cstone]

I've seen it in other drawings, but I have no clue how to do it or what it's called (so searching for it didn't work for me).

What I am looking for is how to have text in my layout view that shows the date and time of when the drawing was sent to the printer. I don't want to have to type this text manually, I would like it to update automatically. I've seen similar setups in drawings before, but I don't know how to get it to work.

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be great. Thanks.

PLOTSTAMP.
In the plot dialogue there is a check box labeled "Plot stamp on".

Or you can use a FIELD. Under INSERT Menu chose FILED then use the PLOT Filed Category.

You can also use RTEXT string such as:


$(GETVAR, "DWGPREFIX")$(GETVAR, "DWGNAME") - $(GETVAR, "CTAB") -$(EDTIME, 0, MON. DD"," YYYY H:MMam/pm) - $(GETVAR, "LOGINNAME")
