Pambo,

 

If you have express tools you can use the RTEXT
command.  Select the "Diesel" option and input code similar to
the following:

 

drawing info:
File: $(getvar,
"dwgprefix")$(getvar, "dwgname"), Tab: $(getvar, "ctab"), User: $(getvar,
"loginname"), $(edtime, 0, MON DD","     YYYY -
H:MMam/pm)

 

drawing xrefs:
$(xrefs,3)

 

drawing images:
$(images)

 

 

This will display something like:

 

drawing info:

File:  P:\drawing_path\drawing.dwg, 
Tab:  Model,  User:  your_name,  Jan 09, 2002 -
2:40pm

 

drawing xrefs:

xrefA [P:\drawing_path\xrefA.dwg]


xrefB
[P:\drawing_path\xrefB.dwg]


xrefC
[P:\drawing_path\xrefB.dwg]

 

drawing images:

P:\drawing_path\imageA.bmp

P:\drawing_path\imageB.bmp

 

 

This is a little more than you asked for, so
just leave out the parts you don't need.  The AutoCAD help has
additional information on Diesel expressions.

 

Hope this helps,

What causes the plot stamp to only plot some of the time? I can open a
drawing and plot it, the plot stamp appears. Close that drawing and open
another, plot it and the plot stamp does not appear.
Any suggestions?
