Date formats

[Onionterror]

As you can see from this image I am generation the drawn by date by driving it with sw created date. This is the correct date format specified by my company. However, my list calender does not produce my desired date format.

How do I get it to generate the desired date format?

Thanks

Make sure the Windows date format is set to match the company standard.

You are going to need to change your computer date format to match. SolidWorks pulls its date format from the computer. I played with it and Nigeria has the date format that you are wanting. But many other European countries do to so you will have to play with it.

Yeah i've got it set but it doesn't change the dates in the title block generated by the property tab builder "date list". See difference in attached jpg.

Thanks

When setting the Windows Long Date format, add 2 more y's.

i.e.
dd/mmmm/yy ---> dd/mmmm/yyyy

this link shows you how to edit the date formats.

However, if you agree, it would be good if you could select which date format you want each custom property to produce.

Thanks
