Journal code to find part 'modified date'?

Journal code to find part 'modified date'?

Journal code to find part 'modified date'?

(OP)
Quick question, and guessing this might be a single line-code, but how can you obtain the last saved date of a part (modified date)?

We are using journals to create bounding box info to fill out our bill of materials, however keeping them updated can be tricky. I'd like to be able to check the bounding journal timestamp vs the modified date to see if the journaled bounding dimensions are 'old'

RE: Journal code to find part 'modified date'?

There are a couple samples to access the part history in the GTAC solution Center Link
If you want the modified date of the .prt file, in native there is likely a vb command to get the information from windows.

Thanks for the info, however I don't want to just run the info-->history list. I want the latest save so I can have the program automatically compare it to another BOM size generated date/time.
