Filename stamp on print ?
Filename stamp on print ?
(OP)
Is there a way to place a filename stamp on a print ? (Something similar to the way Autocad places a stamp at printing time ) This would be useful on prints that do not yet have a format and our custom note.

Leave it blank.
Right click on the blank annotation.
In the properties tab to the left, click on the "link to property" icon (picture shows a hand with a white piece of paper or something behind a yellow set of chain links).
If you want the file name of the actual drawing file, leave the top button clicked, for "From document".
If you want the file name of the model you are referencing, click "From model in view" or "From modle specified in sheet properties", depending on your need.
Choose "SW-File name" from the drop down list.
Click "OK". You're done.

Thanks, Don.

$PRP:"SW-Folder Name"$PRP:"SW-File Name" printed on $PRP:"SW-Long Date"
and everybody is quite happy with it.
The header and footer, do they keep the settings from one drawing to another, or from one print to another?

Thanks for tip. Yes, we are doing this as well. It works great for drawings, but for part and assembly models, the variable driven note, although it works, it is inconsistant (for example, where did it go...?) . I have added the info to our footers on the asmdot and prtdot files. This is very consistent, although the file path is not an available variable yet. People like to print part and assembly models to (...admire their work ?) show the engineers their concepts.
Thanks, Don.
