Plot stamp question

Is there a way to configure the plot stamp to always be on for some
plotters, and always off for others? I'm always forgetting to uncheck the
plot stamp box when I plot an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet, or an 11" x 17"!!

 

So, there's no way I can set for on for specific devices, and off for
others?

 

Have you explored using RTEXT instead? It has met our needs much better than plotstamp.

 

I'm not 100% familiar with how to configure the rtext for the drawing, along
with the necessary macros or lisps to put in the date, path, username and
scale.

In fact, I don't know crap about lisp or macros.

than plotstamp.

 

If you have express tools, just look up RTEXT in the help. It is much easier than it first looks. Not only is it very basic and easy to use, it has many applications. It is well worth the effort. And it should be useable by someone who has little or no knowledge of macros or lisps.

 

any chance you can help from tony two toes

 

If you have express tools, the command is RTEXT. Next, type D (for DIESEL). The RTEXT editor will come up. This is where you type your DIESEL expression. The expression we use for our plot stamp is:
DRAWING FILE: $(getvar, "dwgprefix")$(getvar,"dwgname") LAYOUT: $(getvar,"ctab") PLOTTED: $(edtime, 0, MON DD"," YYYY - H:MMam/pm) PLOTTED BY: $(getvar,loginname).
