Does anyone know how to link a drawing note to the last saved date in "short date" format. I can link to it using the "long date" format. But really just want the short date information.
Thanks,
Link Note to "Last Saved Date"

There is nothing. Seems silly who wants a long date on a Drawing. I would guess 2% of people using SW would actually use this.
You can write a simple macro to update a named note on your drawing before every save. It would require some template setup and having an events macro run at startup. (the only problem with a macro is if someone uses the vbaeditor it could stop the macro, if this would be a problem then an add in is needed.) I have one that updates the create date every time a new drawing is made works pretty well among our small group.

Thanks Corey,
I was afraid someone was going to say that. Unfortunately, I know nothing about creating macros other than recording simple button sequences.
Also, I realized that I didn't explain myself completely. I am trying to link a drawing note to the "last saved date" of the model in "short date" format, NOT the last saved date of the drawing. Would that make a difference in your response?
No such luck. Sorry
