Timestamp Tag

[-Navisworker-]

I'm creating interference drawings for construction coordination. Going against the grain, I've printed views instead of sheets for some overall level plans eliminating titleblocks. The only thing that I can see as as a current issue with this is that there is no way to mark a current timestamp in a view. This would require a timestamp tag. Issue is that I don't think you can create one. Maybe with Dynamo, but I don't have that kind of brain.

Instead of going nuts about my lack of standards, can anyone suggest a way to create an annotation tag that is a timestamp.

Cheers!

I don't have any ideas how to make Revit do it.

But some other ideas include:

Some printer drivers have the capability of adding date/time stamp info to the output. I know Brother PCL drivers do. Check your printer settings and search the internet for "time stamp" and your printer model.

Adobe has a workflow that will date/time stamp prints. Never done it myself but I read about it here:

How did you solve it? You merely led me down the garden path away from my original question. I checked my available options and I cannot add this extra step into my work flow. I'm looking for a Revit solution and its clear you didn't provide one.

Just create a title block family with nothing except for a timestamp. Create a sheet using this titleblock and drop the view on it.

Yes, I know I didn't answer your specific question. I know I did not solve it. That is evident by my having typed, "I don't have any idea...."

But I was attempting to be as helpful as I could be under the circumstances.

So don't be rude about it.
