    Guys,
    is it possible to have an attribute offer the date of today as standar
    value??
    Maybe some programming required.

    If you have a LISP routine to insert the block, you can get the current date
    and add as one of the attributes.

    ;exampe to get current date and save as variable SBDATE in format of
    MM/DD/YY
    (setq DATE (rtos (getvar "CDATE") 2 10))
    (setq YYDATE (substr DATE 3 2) MMDATE (substr DATE 5 2) DDDATE (substr
    DATE 7 2))
    (setq SBDATE (strcat MMDATE "/" DDDATE "/" YYDATE))

    ;example
    (defun C:IB (/ BlkName InsertPoint BlkScale BlkRotate DATE YYDATE MMDATE
    DDDATE SBDATE)
    (setq BlkName "YourBlockName")
    (setq InsertPoint (list 0.0 0.0))
    (setq BlkScale 1.0)
    (setq BlkRotate 0.0)
    (setq DATE (rtos (getvar "CDATE") 2 10))
    (setq YYDATE (substr DATE 3 2) MMDATE (substr DATE 5 2) DDDATE (substr
    DATE 7 2))
    (setq SBDATE (strcat MMDATE "/" DDDATE "/" YYDATE))
    (command "INSERT" BlkName InsertPoint BlkScale BlkScale BlkRotate SBDATE)
    (princ)
    )
