Custom Title Block

[ron.wilkes]

I am trying to make a specialized title block in Revit and before I waste a lot of time I thought I would post what I am trying to do and see if it possible.

I am trying to emulate a AutoCAD border which includes some fields that I need to see if Revit can emulate. They are:

1. When was the file last saved.
2. When wan the file last printed and by whom.
3. Sheet numbering (ie. Sheet ? of ?)

I have only basic Revit knowledge and have no idea how to begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!

#2 is readily available, & includes username. #1, date file saved is hard to pin down, worksharing negates the relevancy, but I am sure you could draw the information somehow via the API? Date plotted is much more reliable, also available as a Label. #3 is interesting, I don't think I've ever been in a situation where that was able to happen, too many files to track without doing so manually.

I don't see when the file was last printed and by whom under lable when I am creating a title block. Would it be possible to walk me through how to insert these into my title block?

Okay, you got me, it IS different. I think I'm still suffering from an overdose of Carpet Fresh from AU. The Date/Time stamp is what I use. With the File Path. When in worksharing, we have a script that gaurantees that the file path tells me the username who generates the plots, it's in the filename itself. Therefore, we can track the date plotted by the Date/Time Stamp and the filepath with the username and project name in the title of the file. Sorry, I know that's not quite what you're seeking. Wish I could help more. Maybe someone else can assist further?
