Is it possible to insert current time just like <SW-SHORT DATE> ?

    I have a note on my drawing that displays the current date a drawing
    was printed <SW-Short Date>, but I would also like the current time it
    was printed. Is this possible with a default note, or will it involve
    inserting the time using a macro?

    I use the "footnote" (?) function in the print menu, and print date, time
    and file name of the printed doc.

    SW Monkey,

    Do you want a static date and time that represents the last time the
    document was printed on the electronic document itself or do you want
    the time the document was printed to only show on the paper print.

    Regards,
    Corey

    We create PDFs of our drawings. What I would like is a note that
    displays the current date/time that the PDF was created. We use the
    SolidWorks "Save As PDF" option. I can get the current date on the
    drawing by putting <SW-Short Date>, but how can I do the current time ?

    Well, that could be used to fake the Print Date, by making a macro that
    saves the drawing, rebuilds it (to update the linked note) and then
    prints it. Kinda around-about, but I think it would do what you are
    asking.
