How to change date into normal format ?

Hi,

The date displayed below my parts is bit weird, it shows dates like 5/26/21

How can I fix it?

Thanks

What is “normal format” for you?

Are you on Windows or are you on a Mac OS?

Hi Naudin and CADwisperer,

The standard in fusion is MM/DD/YYYY

here in europe almost no one uses this format.

DD.MM.YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD is a lot more common.

Can you switch Date format?

Thanks in advance Alexander

I am pretty sure that the date format is harvested from the OS.

If I change my OS it changes in Fusion 360...

(I am using Windows 10 OS)

My system is DD.MM.YYYY

Im using Win10.

for a Test i switched to YYYY-MM-DD but nothing changed in fusion.

My System is also using 24:00 clock and Fusion is using am/pm. 😑

Where are you referring to a date in Fusion?

In a Drawing?

Can you show screen capture of the reference?

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that we recently upgraded Fusion so now it matches the date format of your computer's operating system.
The created date in a new drawing also reflects the date format settings of your OS.

E.g.:
