Where do I find "SW-File Name" and other properties
Where do I find "SW-File Name" and other properties
(OP)
I am reading Help - Linking Notes to Document Properties.
Quote:
You can link a note to the properties of the model shown in the drawing (the SW-File Name property, for example, or a user-defined custom property in the model document).
The SW-File Name property exists and when I write in a note $PRP:"SW-File Name" it correctly displays the file name under which the dwg has been saved.
My question is: Where do I find the list of those "standard" SW properties ? When I pull down "File" -> "Properties" there is nothing like that either in "Property Name" nor in "Value/Text Expression".
Yet misteriously (at least to me) that "SW-File Name" (and probably others) exist somewhere.

RE: Where do I find "SW-File Name" and other properties
Now, the “SW-Created Date” produces date AND the time (to a second). Nothing wrong with that, in fact in many situations the time “stamp” is desirable.
But if I would like to have JUST THE DATE when the dwg was FIRST CREATED, the time stamp becomes a nuisance.
Is there a way to “blank off” or “cover up” the display of hr:min:sec on a dwg sheet ??
I can not use the “SW-Long Date” nor the “SW-Short Date” because as I know it keeps on changing. Unless of course there was a way to somehow “capture” the “SW-Long Date”/“SW-Short Date” and then “freeze” it.

There are several custom property programs floating around. see links below for macros, etc.

I believe, the above is "manual". What I wanted is to be "automatic"
