Tittlefield lacks date

[MatsNorway1]

So i noticed that our documentation never gets updated with last saved date info on check in. How is this supposed to work?

I tried to check of in iproperties but none seemed to chance <sheet revision> etc.

I kinda want just last saved by me to be stored.

Hi! There isn't a revision date in the standard iProperty. The one you highlighted is "Design State." You will need to create a custom iProperty to capture such date. I believe Vault (or a PDM solution) does have the ability to capture the revision date.

Many thanks!

The iProperties (in your screenshot) are set manually, so unfortunately, you won't see them change when saving.

There is a "Last modified" property on the drawing file which records the last time you saved it (see the "General" tab of iProperties).  To access it though, you'll need a line of iLogic to push the date into either a custom iProp, or a standard iProp - whichever is your preference. 

I use a slightly simpler approach and grab the 'now' variable, capturing only the date (and you can mess with the formatting of the date easily by swapping the text around):

iProperties.Value("Custom", "Last Modified Date") = Date.Now.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy")

Set a trigger to run the rule "Before Save", and then save it into your drawing template.

You mention "check in" - are you using Vault?  If so, Vault Professional has a whole Revision table function.  If you're using any other version, then "Checked in" date would be a good property to search by, but not something you can write back to the drawing.

Ì have never messed with code much. Only been making and filling in custom properties. Do i insert the code into the Titlefield text box? 

As an example:

I do use Vault. But i care more about the readable data for the everyday user.

I selected before save document but it seems to give no confirmation on it being active/saved or added as a rule.

my opinion:

it is better to mark the change manually

this will prevent accidental saving

see topic"How to insert the PART Modification Date into the drawing"

It looks like you have both options now - automatic and manual.

Nice explanation for creating the rule @89198826955 - thank you for filling in all the bits I missed!

I followed your link: Solved: How to insert the PART Modification Date into the drawing - Autodesk Community - Inventor - However, reading the replies, it looks as though the other contributors would prefer an automatic option, so I'll post a link back here to this thread.

@MatsNorway1 - In your last screenshot, you don't appear to have added the rule under "Before Save Document". (Drag and drop the rule.) 

After you save your document, check the Custom iProperties.  You should find the new custom iProperty.
