something like 'Plot Stamp' in SWX

Jul 31, 2003 2 Replies

I had a friend ask if when printing in SWX one could put a 'Plot Stamp' on the print similar to something ottocad can do. It puts a string of text with the date and file location along the egde of the print.



Is there something similat in SWX?



Thanks

Use properties like

Print Date: $PRP:"SW-Long Date" &

Component Name: $PRPSHEET:"SW-Folder Name"$PRPSHEET:"SW-File Name"

Also in the print properties under Header & Footer (these work just like in Excel) you can add this text.

LAST PLOT: &[date] &[time]

This is what we do and it works great. There were issues with this in earlier SPs I believe SP3.1 is ok.

I wrote a macro that you could use to automate this. It is set up to add the plot date and print to the selected printer.
