    I've been trying to get my drawings to print a time stamp which would
    show when the drawing was printed. I can get the date to print
    ($PRP:"SW-Long Date"), but I can't find anything that will print the
    curernt time.
    Any ideas?
    I was also wondering if it is possible to put VB commands into
    drawings like you can with equations.

    Thanks in advance,
    Anders

  2. Would this help?
    It lets you put a time and date on the print out, among other things
    Headers and Footers
    You can specify headers and footers for the active document before printing.

    To create a header or footer:

    1.. Click File, Print.

    The Print dialog box appears.

    2.. Under Document Options, click Header/Footer.

    The Header/Footer dialog box appears.

    3.. Select a predefined header or footer from the Header and Footer lists.

    - or -

    Click Custom Header or Custom Footer to create a unique header or footer
    and do the following:

    1.. Select an area of the document where you want the header or footer
    to appear: Left section, Center section, or Right section.

    2.. Select the items you want to appear on the page (Page Numbers ,
    Number of Pages , Date , Time , or Filename ).

    3.. Click OK.

    The Header preview and Footer preview boxes update according to the items
    you selected.

    4.. Click OK to close the Header/Footer dialog box.

    5.. Click OK to close the Print dialog box and print the document.

  3. In the print page setup, you can set a footnote or headnote (not sure how it
    translates) where you can show time, date, file name, ...
