a way to date / time stamp a drawing?

[JLG]

If you want to get serious about batch programming, there's an old but still excellent book:

Windows NT Shell Scripting: Timothy Hill: 9781578700479: Amazon.com: Books

Good websites:

Batch File Scripting Techniques

Batch Commands

Of course, these are for good old DOS/Windows batch scripting.  There are other, newer scripting languages for Windows -- Windows Script Host (WSH) and PowerShell Script.  Depending on what you want to do, they might work better for you.  Again, Google can help you out.

Hi Eric and other interested.

I said, I will check tomorrow, now it's 2,5 years .....

But now I switched to CREO2 and I tried the way.

The OS script works fine.

But now, I have problems, to transfer the string from the clipboard to the drawing parameter.

I recorded a mapkey, it is documented downwards

(The emoticon at line 3 is not correct it is ; and \ )

As can be seen, there is at line 8 a fix string for the date,

which shouldn't be there!

Does anyone know the solution?

Greetings,

Holger
