International Date & Time Format

International Date & Time Format

2016-03-07_11-46-59.png

 

So was that created on the 3rd of January or the 1st of March? This is hideous guys, come on. If you only want to use a single date format, then please use March 1st 2016 instead of the short hand version of the date. 

 

To do this properly though, you should be tying the date & time format into the default unit preferences. Fusion is now starting to grow reasonably well outside of the USA, this type of thing really puts people off. 

 

Hopefully you can get this into the next build or two?

We will support Locale specific timestamp formatting in an update next month.

Thanks,

Would be best if you just showed the date in words "March 1, 2016" and then the time based on the user's preference and show it in 24 hour clock along with the time zone (09:15 PST). If you just show numeric dates in locale you'll still confuse folks.

There's an ISO standard for formatting dates, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

@charegb what happened? It's been a few months, and a few updates past, but this hasn't been implemented yet... it's annoying for the first 12 days of every month.

It would be best if specific date/time format can be specified as an option, and not as a locale format.

In any case, it would be nice if the default format can be ISO yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM (tz).

It would be even nicer if time zone can be added.

 

International has nothing to with it. ISO is a better format. It sorts easier and less prone to errors. 

I am in the U.S., by the way, and I prefer the ISO format.

@charegb What's going on with this? It's REALLY confusing for everyone outside of the USA for the first 12 days of each month.

It's been 18 months since this was posted, and originally it was meant to be implemented within a month of the idea being posted... I wouldn't hold your breath for it being implemented any time soon. It doesn't affect the decision makers in any way since it's in the format they use. Bummer really. A barely useful browser hosted version of Fusion 360 for Linux and Chromebook users is more important.

Thanks Scott. I note that the iOS app DOES have dates in a more suitable format Smiley LOL

Date/Time:

<script> var dt = new Date(); document.getElementById("datetime").innerHTML = (("0"+dt.getDate()).slice(-2)) +"."+ (("0"+(dt.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)) +"."+ (dt.getFullYear()) +" "+ (("0"+dt.getHours()).slice(-2)) +":"+ (("0"+dt.getMinutes()).slice(-2)); </script>

@daniel_lyall Is that code some kind of solution to this long mentioned issue?

@Anonymous it is the code to have the date in the correct order date, month, year and time it is just to show it is not hard.
