Date display at 03 instead of 2003...how?

[Anonymous]

On a drawing title block, the iProperties that have a type of "Date" display
in the form of 8/7/2003. Is there any way to get them to display only the
last two digits of the year such as 8/7/03? I know that I can use Custom
properties as a workaround, but it would be nice to be able to use the Mfg.
Approved, etc. fields that come there by default.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Turns out that option is logically hidden in the "Regional and Language
Options" area of the Control Panel. Silly me...I was looking in Date and
Time!

Brian,



Speaking of dates, a word of CAUTION.


You and others may know this, however for the benefit of them who do not. When dealing with International folks, date format can get you in trouble.



To us 4/7/03 is April 7 2003, to other International folks. It is interpeted as July 4 2003. Almost got a critical delivery screwd up once that way.





BTW, the ISO International Standard is quoted as...



"Date


The international standard date notation is...


YYYY-MM-DD


where YYYY is the year in the usual Gregorian calendar, MM is the month of the year between 01 (January) and 12 (December), and DD is the day of the month between 01 and 31.


For example, the fourth day of February in the year 1995 is written in the standard notation as 1995-02-04


Other commonly used notations are e.g. 2/4/95, 4/2/95, 95/2/4, 4.2.1995, 04-FEB-1995, 4-February-1995, and many more. Especially the first two examples are dangerous, because as both are used quite often in the U.S. and in Great Britain and both can not be distinguished, it is unclear whether 2/4/95 means 1995-04-02 or 1995-02-04. The date notation 2/4/5 has at least six reasonable interpretations (assuming that only the twentieth and twenty-first century are reasonable candidates in our life time)."




Just a FYI



Regards,



Don A 🙂

Sorry, should have looked at time in tool bar window they changed it since I
last played with it. Don't remember which OS I was on then.

my dealer set my computer to english US to install IV.
what is the reason for this?
I have since had a lot of dates mixed up. excell has the nice habit of putting the shortened us format even if you type 10 march 2003 it gives 3/10/03.
I have now set my date back to English UK
