drawing version

[MichalLukac]

Hello,

I would like to have a note in a drawing to display last version of the drawing. I can do it manually, every time I'll do changes I'll change the note too.

But is there e.g. some system parameter that will increment every time the drawing is stored? Or may be the actual date would be ok.

The $todays_date parameter doesn't work this way...

In creo3

Thanks for help

Michal

Do you used PDMLink?  It creates a parameter called PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON that you can add to a note

&PTC_WM_MODIFIED_ON:D for the drawing.

Other than without PDMLink, I would probably make a mapkey to add and/or revise the note. you could use &todays_date for that

No I don't use PDM.

Generally, having nice-looking tracking of versioning is done via PDM.  Some possibilities for working without that:

1) Have a note in your drawing (or drawing template), name it VER_NOTE, text &dwg_version, and a parameter dwg_version with whatever format of version string you like.  Then you could have a mapkey using Find to select the note by name VER_NOTE, and doing Edit Value to prompt for the new version, (possibly then saving the drawing, in which case it could be used as the way you should save the drawing).

2) Similar, but have the note &todays_date, and the mapkey replaces its text with &todays_date, if all you need is a datestamp.
