Hi,
I've spent several hours reading and checking solutions for all the previous similar issues to mine here, but cannot actually see a definite answer to my issue.
My title block attributes are "PDATE=PLOTDATE;" and "PTIME=PLOTTIME;" as set in my WD_TB attribute in the block (see attachment dwg), but are not being updated when using the Project Manager>Publish/Plot>Plot Project utilty (see attached png) as previously described in other posts...., but it does not work in my case.
Am I missing something? all other attributes are working seemlessly. I cannot locate any information about the PLOT PROJECT that is being called in this plotting method. Anybody have an idea where to find that info? Does any of this cycle around the plotstamp command? Not sure if it even works with the ACADE plot project util. or not....?
Would like to get this working somehow....help, please.
thanks!

Yes, it does.
Where does this command run from ? Is it part of the Plot Project utility in the Project Manager?
Additional information:
I am running a Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, AutoCAD Electrical 2014
Plot using DWG to PDF.pc3 (SEE ATTACHMENT)
It's an integrated part of the Plot Project function.
Whe you rund this, a script-file is created in your user-folder, named _WDPLOT.SCR.
If you open this in a text editor, it will look something like this:
_.cmdecho 0 wd_scr_msg "========== Drawing 1 of 1 ==========" wd_prnt_time_date _.-PLOT _YES 'wd_chk4_layoutnam_oem "Model" C:\Dropbox\AURO\PLOTTERS\Acade - DWG To PDF.pc3 Landscape _E _F Centered _N . _N 'wd_prnt_repeat_cr wd_scr_msg "========== Reopening original ==========" wd_scr_open_oksave "C:\DROPBOX\VAULT WORKSPACE\CM10080\9.DWG"
So, it's not something that you can turn on/off, as far as I know.
Have a look in the _WDPLOT.SCR file that your AcadE creates....
My colleague just informed me that Fields set in my attribute will correct this problem.
I have set the attribute value to an autocad field and this works flawlessly.
Simplest if often the most straight forward...
