Add automatic DATE stamp to Plans

[Anonymous]

Good morning,

How do I add Automatic DD/MM/YYYY Date to the Plans?

I tried to use Date/Time Stamp and delete the Time, but I followed the steps from some previous questions and it doesn't work for me.

I tried to use Sheet Issue Date, but I can only achieve the DD/MM/YYYY by writing it myself.

Any help?

Thank you

Hello

This has been solved here:

You need to change your Time/Date Settings, in the windows Control Panel, replacing the long time format to space, that way it wont show on your sheet

have a great Day!

As I said before, I already looked at this question you linked.

Thank you, but I can't use that. I am on a computer which isn't mine.  Is there any other way?

open your titleblock family.

Create>>Label

There should be a built-in Date/Time Stamp parameter.

Accept the changes. Reload the family. This is what you will see on your sheet.

Create an mtext box, then go to Text Editor tab. Find Field in the Insert panel and click on this. You will then find Field Category and select Date & Time. Select Date within Field Names and select 12/14/2017 in Examples. Now you're good, press Ok.

This method gives you many many options for both data and time or just date or just time (without using the rtext command). This is an easy way to get any stamp into your drawing.

Have a good one,

This sounds like a solution for AutoCAD NOT Revit. There are no MTEXT boxes in Revit and you can't insert fields like this either.

It's 2019 and I'm still looking for a simple way to automatically update text field with the current date. The "solution" in the thread @mpomav referred to works, but it's a workaround which is semi-automatic and not full-automatic.

The AutoCAD feature with mtext + date field (which @Anonymousreferred to) works great and should be implemented in Revit too! In my work I always automate as much as I can and the absence of this feature interrupts the automation process.

Hi...

If you are a techie /  or someone who can help then try this..

1. Create a script... to generate an Image ( example date.jpg)

2. that image should be created daily ( automatic) using the script

3. you need someone to code that for you, so that script saves that " date.jpg " images at particular location...

Now, in Revit Template. link that " date.jpg" file.. 

so whenever you open a new project, that jpg file gets updated, which updates the DATE automatically..

Its just like  a jpg, of Company logo.. save at particular location.. but in this case that image needs

to be updated everyday....

am not a coder, but am gonna give this challenge to few Coders in IT community...

those codes will look something like this..

function cretecurrentdate
{
        now=$(date +"%m_%d_%Y");
        mkdir -p /Revit/Date/"Image"/$now &&
        mv *.JPG *.jpg /Revit/Date/"Image "/$now
}

Any further information on this? I would like to have the ability to have a date on my progress set label in the titleblock that updates automatically.

Use Timestamp for the label.  Edit Windows Region Formats.
