    Hi,
    We are wanting to include the drawing file name on plots but when we select
    the Drawing Name option in the Plot Stamp fields it includes the full file
    path as well. We are using LT 2002. Anyone know if it's possible to change
    this so that it includes just the filename on it's own.
    Thanks

    I don't know if you can change it there but I know a work around that I
    use. In express tools under text there is rtext choose that then diesel
    as the input and paste this in: Drawing file: $(getvar, "dwgname")

    This will show "Drawing File: filename.dwg

    Insert this in your title block where you want it to show up and it will
    work every time as expected unlike plot stamp..

    Check the help file under express tools for rtext for more information
    and what to expect if your using xref's etc.

    Good luck, Rich

    Thanks for the suggestion Rich. Unfortunately we are using LT and don't have
    Express tools with that.
