Sheet Issue Date

[kwong]

Hi all,
Is it possible to format the Sheet Issue Date parameter so that the date shows DD-MM-YY? At the moment whenever I add a new sheet the date comes out MM/DD/YY. Thanks.

Go to your Windows Regional Settings and enter the format there. This controls the Date Time Stamp ( the automatic issued stamp on sheets )


For the Date Issued “ ( Project Setting ) … in the title block family, select the date label, then the "select parameter" button from the Options Bar, then in the "Value" field for that parameter, type in the format you want.

Hi beegee,
I did exactly that, typing in the value field 31-12-04, but when a new sheet is added, the date generated is still in the MM/DD/YY format, and therefore also the date in the drawing list. I'd hate to think that I would have to manually change all the dates in a drawing list of 50 or more drawings!

Once you have entered the format in the value field in the titleblock family , loaded that new titleblock into a project, set the Project Information > Project Issue Date to " 31-12-04", all sheets should show that date and format.

beegee,
Thanks for that - I know now why it's not working for me - it's not the Project Issue Date but the Sheet Issue Date that I'm talking about - that doesn't seem to work.

So when you say "sheet issue date" you mean the automatic date stamp placed when the sheet is plotted ?

Thats not a global setting of course and it's format is controlled by Windows Regional Settings, as mentioned in my first post.

If you want to add a shared parameter called Sheet Issue Date, and make that part of Project Information parameters , you can make it text type and still enter your date as "31-12-04" format.
