Here's something I thought was pretty useful...
Instead of running a lisp routine to date stamp your plots and show the path names of your drawings, heres something you can try.
type 'RTEXT' on the command line, hit 'D' for Diesel.
for Enter RText: type this
PATH: $(GETVAR, DWGPREFIX)$(GETVAR, DWGNAME) DATE: $(edtime, $(getvar,date),""MONTH DD YYYY - H:MMam/pm) LOGIN: $(getvar,loginname)
Hit enter, place the text where you want it, and hit enter again.
This gives you text that will automatically update without you having to edit it. Test it by doing a saveas to a different name or directory, then type 'REGEN'. PRESTO!!! Like magic the path, dwgname and the time automatically update!
I've been using this for a while and always attach this to the corner of my TITLE BLOCK. Then, I xref my tile block into every drawing...it works great.
Here's some more...
To show 'IMAGES' that are attached to the drawing add this text:
IMAGES:$(images, , ,)
To show 'XREFS' names and paths add this text:
XREFS:$(xrefs, , , )
***Note: the commas list the files horizontally, without the commas files are listed vertically.
Let me know if you guys found this useful. Thanks.
