Linked Note Value - Short Date ???

Linked Note Value - Short Date ???

Linked Note Value - Short Date ???

(OP)
We use the $PRP:"SW-Short Date" value in our drawimg templates so we know when the drawing has been last loaded/plotted etc.

This has worked great until now

I have just begun to run off some drawings and I find that the date code has switched from dd/mm/yy to mm/dd/yy.

Anyone know what drives this??

RE: Linked Note Value - Short Date ???

These settings are controlled by the Windows time/date format preferences.

djw2k3,
Thanks, I forgot all about these codes.  Now all I need is a code for time of day. I was using Ctrl P to print document. Click Document Options “Header/Footer…” click Custom Footer…, click Font…  Font should be Century Gothic, Regular, Points shall be 8.
