Time Stamping Plots
(OP)
Is there a way that I can automatically time/date stamp plots as I run them?

RE: Time Stamping Plots
RTEXT is "desiel" based ...
And will run provided you're in AutoCAD 2000i and above.
I believe for A2Ki you need the "Expres Tools" but after that ... A2K2 & 2004 come with this support automatically.
Of course you need to insert the text into each file before plotting. But once done, it will automatically update.
RTEXT DATE & TIME

RTEXT - MORE VARIABLES
Thread555-28837

Thread555-52124
You could also enable the time stamp within the plot properties dialog box & then run a batch plot.
Hope that helps ...

Use RTEXT and enter this string (RTEXT is only in the express tools upto 2004 I belive, then included??)
