Revision table date format
Revision table date format
(OP)
Hello all,
I have searched the SW help and have not been able to find what I am looking for.
Now, I will tap into the vast knowledge of the users here.
I want to know if there is a way to change the automatic date format that is used in the revision table. It uses 8/2/2006 for example and I would like to use 08/02/06 or 08-02-06.
Has anyone found a way to accomplish this? I know that I can always edit the cell and that is what I have been doing but if I can change the table format I will.

Thanks for the link. Good stuff to know.
I think I will just keeping editing the date since messing with the registry would affect all programs.

What's wrong with it affecting all programs? They would be consistent.

RE: Revision table date format
Actually nothing would be wrong doing that. But I only want that option for the date on our SolidWorks drawings in the title block and revision table. I was just trying to save some space on our drawings and be consistent with our older drawings. We can live with the 8/3/2006 format.

I know what you mean by wanting to save space. It would be a good enhancement request to SolidWorks to change the date format.
