Add folder path to idw border

[Anonymous]

I would like to be able to add the folder path to the bottom edge of the border; like a footer in a doc.

When someone from the floor comes to engineering to ask a question, and the project engineer is not available, it would be nice to have the folder path for the engineer that has to handle the question. Some of the paths can be a little convoluted. (Engineers can do that you know 

All folders would not have to be listed. i.e. Server X/ Folder A / Folder B / Folder C / Folder D / Folder E

All engineering resides in Folder B and on.

Thanks much

rhasell,

That's what I'm looking for, but can you help me out with how you did the date?

I know that FN&P are available in iProperties, but where are you creating and pulling the Savedate from? Is it a date they actually worked on it, or is it a create date from iProperties?

Another issue I encounter is when an engineer uses another engineers model, but doesn't update certain iProperties it makes it difficult to know who actually worked on the later model. Is there a way to include a name/initials pulled from their computer, and included in a similar "stamp" on their idw?

Hi

The date comes from an ilogic rule running in the drawing, which is literally the savedate.

It is triggered "Before Save Document"

iProperties.Value("Custom", "Savedate")=DateTime.Now.ToString("d")

There is no additional code to create the savedate custom iproperty, as it has always been in my template, but you you might have to put a try/catch line into the code to create the entry if it does not exist.

You could do something similar with the Engineer stamp.

Perhaps the Author, Engineer, or a custom iProperty

Without doing a little research, I am not sure how to pull the Username.

Hope this helps.
