Dating Drawings
(OP)
Is there a way to get solidworks to automatically date drawings when printing or saving to PDF? It would be useful to know when drawings were last modified.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

You can make a block with text. Have the text linked to current date. Add the block to the dwg face. Everytime you open the dwg the date will get updated.

On somewhat the same subject, we originally used $PRPSHEET:"SW-Last Saved By" for the engineer, but that field would change everytime someone saved the drawing, and we had trouble finding out who originally did the drawings, so now we use the Author property.

RE: Dating Drawings
In SW2001+ there is a created date option $PRP:"SW-Created Date" but it puts it in long format (Monday, June 6, 2005, 2:03:28 PM). Does SW2005 have a short date option for the created date?
