COMPREHENSIVE LISTING OF CHARACTER STRINGS FOR IPLOT

COMPREHENSIVE LISTING OF CHARACTER STRINGS FOR IPLOT

COMPREHENSIVE LISTING OF CHARACTER STRINGS FOR IPLOT

(OP)
I used to have what I'm looking for, now it's gone.

Essentially, I have a text string in a MicroStation file, to wit:

$SYTIME$

The IPLOT routine substitutes the system date and time for this string and I get a what I will call a date/time stamp on my paper output (or a .pdf).

I am looking for as complete as possible of character strings/text substitutions, etc.

For instance, I want to know what the character string should be to give me just the date, month, year.

RE: COMPREHENSIVE LISTING OF CHARACTER STRINGS FOR IPLOT

If the iplot manual is not what you want then just use pentables in microstation its quite a bit easier  and the help has lots about it.
