&todays_date won't show... well today's date :P
&todays_date won't show... well today's date :P
(OP)
As my subject say's I can't get the &todays_date parameter to show me a date ( my syntax is correct ).
I've tried with other parameter such as ¤t_sheet and some more! They all work except this one
I've search around the web and I coudn't find a similar problem.
any idea ?
Thank you

- todays_date_note_format is set to %dd-%Mmm-%yy ( wich is default )
- It does in fact display the parameter name: &todays_date
- I trying to create a new format ( in the format mode )
and I did put it in a note. ( insert > note )
Wich is the mhetod that I used for the other parameter !
I hope this help you and thank you again !

The &todays_date will replace the parameter with the date at the time the format is first loaded. Future loading of the drawing will not change the date - this is the correct functionality of the parameter. The parameter will only work in a table on a format, not a drawing, and it will not update to a new date each time the file opens.
Hope this helps.

That is not true. &todays_date will work in a drawing note, in a drawing symbol or in a drawing table as well as in formats. It will be evaluated immediately and replaced with .... drumroll .... TODAYS DATE! At which point it is no longer a parameter but just a text string.
billylecaid - did you ever get this figured out?
