Date In Drawing Is Always Date Opened/Printed

[Scott4tg]

This is probably a basic question that shouldn't have to be asked. When we open any drawing .SLDDRW the date that appears in the title block is the date it was opened or printed and not the date it was created. If we we save the open file, the date is changed to the current date. Can someone tell me how to change this. We would like this to show the date the document was created.

Thanks in advance.

Don't use Date as the linked property. Use a custom property for Drawn Date.

I think you are using "SW-Last Saved Date " property. You need to use "SW-Created Date" property. Change your NOTE link.

Click "date text"
RightMouseButton
"Properties"
propertylink (icon)
linktoproperty (window)
Click dropdownlist and choose "sw-created date"

^ Just went thru and changed ours! I did this the other day and the current date kept coming up.

Thanks
