Our Windows XP workstations have a username of the person logged on. I want to have that name placed in a custom property on model or drawing creation. Does anyone have experience automating this?
Specifics:
Whenever someone logs onto Windows XP, they type their name in the user name text box on the login screen. When a new model or drawing is created I want that name to be placed into a custom property file text box. This would be like the way the model description is automatically placed into the text field for the custom property "Description".
An alternative would be having a text file placed in a standard location with the name as a text item, that would be found and copied into the Description field on model or drawing creation.
One last thought, Microsoft Word has a method of storing the file creator as the person who filled out the Tools, Options, User Information, Name field. Is something like that available?
This feature would change the field only on document creation, or when a Save As, Save As Copy command were performed (to change the name when an unlinked copy were created).
Thanks,
Mark
