Date formats

(OP)
As you can see from this image I am generation the drawn by date by driving it with sw created date. This is the correct date format specified by my company. However, my list calender does not produce my desired date format.

How do I get it to generate the desired date format?

Thanks

RE: Date formats

Make sure the Windows date format is set to match the company standard.

RE: Date formats

You are going to need to change your computer date format to match. SolidWorks pulls its date format from the computer. I played with it and Nigeria has the date format that you are wanting. But many other European countries do to so you will have to play with it.  

RE: Date formats

(OP)
Yeah i've got it set but it doesn't change the dates in the title block generated by the property tab builder "date list". See difference in attached jpg.

Thanks

RE: Date formats

When setting the Windows Long Date format, add 2 more y's.

i.e.
dd/mmmm/yy ---> dd/mmmm/yyyy
