Hello,

Is there a way to insert into the drawing textbox the date when the part file has been last modified?

Thanks in advance

1. right click "properties"

2. tab "other"

3. add a custom parameter "modified date"

4. on the drawing "text"

5 "custom properties"

6.ok

I had in mind to avoid manual management of the dates - in other words, to insert modify date which is already present in the file properties.

The solution is not exaclty as I hopeds for, however it works, so I Thank You.

The last bit you should be able to place in your Drawing template(s), and by doing that not having to create the text annotation every time.

That said, there should DEFINITELY be a standard iProperty that automatically contains the last saved date of the chosen Part, assembly or the drawing itself. Strangely enough, this data seems to be available in Vault:

Exactly, I need that to put last modified date in a tile block for the drawings, so it would update the value from the part/assembly file direclty.
