    Default Wrong date and time in field

    I created a field to show date and time. In the "Field Edit Dialog Box" it shows the correct time and date but when I click OK it shows a wrong date and time. I used the "updatefield" command and it continues to show wrong date and time. Computer date and time is correct and I also checked to see if the date modified was correct and it is.

    Im using 2009 Mechanical.

    Is there some place where I should set correct date and time in the Cad program?

    Any ideals?

    Never Mind

    I changed the file name and it corrected itself. Not sure what was going on. I saved and reopened the drawing several times with nothing changing, but I saved as a different file name and everything starts working like it should.

    hi,
    if you check your "options" dialog under the tab "user preferences" is the button "field update settings" (see image attached). most people keep all 5 checked. if you have none checked fields won't update (generally).

    hope this helps,
    karl

    Thanks for your reply, Yes, I had the regen selected.

    Everything is working fine since I changed the file name. Not sure why this would fix it.

    AUDIT or RECOVER Drawing files can sometimes sort out problems that make no sense on the surface.
