Has anyone come up with a solution to this? We would like to create custom stamps as well. Custom stamps that have boxes that can be checked or unchecked, maybe a date field and name field. We would use these stamps as approval stamps for reviewing shop drawings.
Hi,
Dynamic stamps has been noted on the product wishlist.
For Autodesk Design Review 2011, here's a video showing how to create custom symbols: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1hulhdyYSg
Although this isn't the editable stamp you're looking for in Design Review, Autodesk Design Review 2012, available for download now, allows you to paste copied images directly on to a 2D sheet.
One workaround is to setup a PowerPoint slide creating "stamps" with the desired formatting and insert the Date & Time object (set the object to update automatically in PowerPoint). Then, as you need to markup designs, open the PowerPoint slide and copy the PowerPoint object and paste them into the 2D sheet being reviewed. You can see this done quickly in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeCLcyWB75w
Hope it helps,
C.
Considering that it's been a year, has there been any progress on creating dynamic stamps in DR2013? I've been poking around the new version and don't see anything new in that regard.
This should be really easy to implement, and if Autodesk is hoping that people will use DR to review drawings (shop drawings during CA for instance) then this needs to be understood as an essential functionality of the software.
Thanks-
A symbol is not a stamp. A stamp is not a symbol. Why is it when someone asks about stamps, someone else gives an answer about symbols. The questioner, like me , is looking for a way to make a custom STAMP. Symbols are useless for this.
Hi,
Dynamic stamps were added to Autodesk Design Review 2013. These stamps automatically can include your user name, time, date, and filename to 2D drawings.
Best,

Hi.
How to add custom dynamic stamp in ADR2013?
Kuba
Hi,
Can you provide more details regarding what you want to do?
Dynamic stamps are added to a drawing like any other stamp: Click Markup & Measure tab > Stamps & Symbols panel > Stamps drop-down. The dynamic stamps are located at the bottom of the list.
Best,
Chris
Hi Chris
I mean, how to create MY /customized/ dynamic stamp, with the new fields.
Kuba
Hi Kuba,
I'm still not sure what you mean by "my dynamic stamp". The available Design Review stamps are provided by Autodesk. Additional stamps cannot be added to the list.
The dynamic information in a dynamic stamp (such as date and time) is only "dynamic" at the time the stamp is applied; after application, the information becomes static. And like other stamps, it's only editable after it's been applied.
That said, you can make custom symbols from stamps, but symbols are not dynamic.
Please do provide more detail/context of what you're trying to accomplish if further explanation is required.
Best,
Chris
What I was trying to do when I originally posted on this forum 7 months ago was I believe the same thing Kubass and mies07 are / were trying to do. I'm including a copy of our shop drawing stamp. I would like for the check boxes to be "clickable", the signature field to be editable, and the date field to be dynamic (I understand that the date is fixed once "stamped", that's fine). All architects that are actually building physical things need this ability and not some kludgy workaround that involves powerpoint. I would like to be able to import a raster jpg/tiff/png/gif/etc and/or a vector pdf/cvg/eps/etc and then create the stamp from this.
I understand now. Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, as you suspected, Autodesk Design Review doesn't allow custom stamps, dynamic or otherwise, only custom symbols.
Regards,
Chris
I think what people are after is the ability to create their own stamps - customise them to their company standards etc - it is this functionality that people are after - like an attribute block in AutoCAD. any idea when this is likely to be included? what is needed is a block where you can edit A how it looks and B what fields you wish to enter. anything else I think has been missing the point a bit.
Hi Daniel, Thanks for the feedback. I've logged the request so it can be considered.
Wow, I cant believe it took sooooo long to get the predicted "functionality not included' response to this question. As many people keep pointing out, using customized dynamic stamps is a key part of most companies workflows and Design Review is a looooong way behind Adobe and other .pdf editors with this feature. I like the product and promote its virtues far and wide but this issue always raises itself when any consultant, client or other interested party want to provide comments on submitted .dwfs.
Can we have some assurance from the developers that this feature is at least coming in future releases. I can find references to the issue in forums going back as far as 2005 so its hard to see why this is not yet available.
I can create block in CAD and bring them in as symbols. I was wondering if there is anyway I can bring this symbols and also alow one label where I can type coments. Or maybe is there a way that I can create custom stamps ( bathtub shape) that I can add txt:" R/O 59"x30:"
Does this make sense?
