Question

Plotted date label WF3

When I plot a drawing I get a text in the left upper corner saying:

Name: <my name> Object: <drawing  name> Date: <plotting date and time>.

I can turn this on and off by checking the Label square in the printer setup.

However, I want to move the text and cannot find where the parameters for this (and for the message itself) are hidden.

Help!

Hi,

I guess you cannot configure plot label placement and plot label contents.

    My guess is this is a function of your plotter/printer, probably not controlled in any way by Creo.

    You might want to check the settings for your printer/plotter on Windows, see if it's set to do this kind of behavior.

    Maybe it is a Windows setting?

    The label location can be changed using default_view_label_placement option in the drawing settings / .dtl file.  I'm not aware of a way to change the label contents.

     

    Disregard information above.

    My understanding of the question was that when printing to an actual printer, the data pertaining to the print job were being added to the sheet(s). This was often done in olden times, particularly when printers were shared, so people would know whose prints they were, etc. I remember this being something done by the plotter but I don't know how it's handled these days, since it hasn't been a problem and we don't really print a lot of paper anymore.

    I don't think this has to do with views on the drawing.

    When you print directly from Creo, this label is present? Or is it just on a PDF created thru a "system"?

    We have a vendor who sends us PDFs that have that exact label.

    What box "label"?

    1 Open a drawing. 2 Select <File - Print>. 3 Select your printer and <Configure>.

    You can now choose between Dimension, Offset, Label and Units. Tick the box ”Label” and then OK. You should now get the label we are discussing printed on your drawing.

    For me it happens whichever printer I choose.
