1000 points to the first person who can give me a simple way to put a print time & date stamp on my drawings.

Here's an idea

Embed an Excel sheet with =NOW() in a cell. The sheet won't reevaluate until you access it, so create a macro that accesses it, then prints the drawing. All you have to do is then run the macro.
 
Or, when you print from SW, you should see a Documents Option on the Print dialogue window... click the option that says Header/Footer.

When the Header/Footer dialogue window comes up, select where you want your date and time, and in what format. "The attempt and not the deed confounds us."
 
1000 points to MadMango!
I finally discovered that this is saved in the DOCUMENT TEMPLATE.
This was one-of-those-things; I knew there had to be a simple solution.

hoganh, do you have the macro that does what you suggested?

netshop21,
No macro needed. Do what MadMango said in your template. Print the template to set the date & time. Now save your template. Bradley
 
No I don't have a macro, was just an idea, but it's moot cause mango's method is much cleaner.
