Plot Stamp for SolidWorks 2006 1

[11991]

Is there a Plot Stamp type of feature in SW similar to Acad's?
After so many drawings you tend to loose track of the different revisions.
This also goes for: Drive, file name, date, scale, etc.

You can use custom properties linked to the drawing values.

As a start, I did do a macro for a portion of this a while back (Date and time stamp):

The other values, like scale and such are easy. I wrote this article which general covers this topic recently:

You can also check SolidWork Help for linked properties in the "Linking Notes to Document Properties" article and the "Link to Property" article.
