Survey Import Event Date & Time

[patrick.manson.44343]

Hi all, I would like to add the survey import event date and time into a field on the plan to represent when the points were surveyed. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find the system variable for this?

Cheers

AutoCAD fields and Civil 3D data are not always interchangeable. I doubt there is a system variable to extract the information you are seeking from Civil 3D to place within an AutoCAD field.

Not directly, but you could probably use code to find the latest date of a *.csv file in the drawing folder and modify a Custom Property. Then you could reference it with a field. It wouldn't auto-update though. Of course I usually have to make corrections to those files (bad field codes) so that date may not be accurate. I keep PDF copies of the field notes in the drawing folder as well and add the date written in there to a Custom Property. It's then referenced on each layout with a field.
