inserting path and filename 3

[anoc]

Is there possibility to add path & filename to drawing as a text so that when printing the drawing, it's possible to see where it's located in pc? similiar as when u print a web page, at the bottom ther is url and date..

found dwgprefix, but didn't get it to show the path when writed with tex tool, so hos should it be done?
thanx!

I believe you need Express Tools for Remote Text.
"Rtext" > Diesel > "File Path:$(getvar, "dwgprefix&quot$(getvar, "dwgname&quot".

Release 2004 has this built in to the print dialog screen

Go to "Utilities" pull down, then try "Daystamp Drawing".
hope this helps.

[MikeMc100]

sorry...."Utilities" then "Revisions" then "daystamp"

 

[smcadman]

"Utilities" pull down? Do you have an add-on software, or are you running something other than plain "vanilla" AutoCAD?

Can't find utilities-revisions-daystamp
Either can't find rtext or diesel, where shoul i write that "File Path:$(getvar, "dwgprefix&quot$(getvar, "dwgname&quot" ?

Here are some Diesel expresions:

DWG properties Diesel Strings:
Location: $(getvar, "dwgprefix&quot$(getvar, "dwgname&quot
If you want the server name to be displayed at your DWG, open the file using my network

Created: $(edtime, $(getvar,tdcreate), ddd" DD"-Mon"-YYYY" - HH:MMAM/PM)
Last saved: $(edtime, $(getvar,tdupdate), ddd" DD"-Mon"-YYYY" - HH:MMAM/PM)
Last Saved By: $(getprop, lastsavedby)
Printed: $(edtime, 0, ddd" DD"-Mon"-YYYY" - HH:MMAM/PM); Dispays current system time
Printed By: $(getvar, "loginname"Curent User
Total editing time $(edtime, $(getvar,tdindwg), HH:MM)

places.

ANNOC
The rtext is in the express tools for acad 2000 2002and 2004

 

[smcadman]

Anoc, I put links to download the Express Tools since this question often asked.

[smcadman]

I do not know how to edit threads here, but to add to my previous reply, I put links to download the Express Tools in the FAQ area of this forum.

Sliazmei, Sorry, still can't understand where to write those commands?
I tried to write those to File->drawing properties-->Custom
but can't see any path anywhere.

I'm so not familiar with autocad

 

[zliazmei]

Hi Anoc.

Go to:
Express>text>remote text>
On the prompt type "Diesel" it will open a window where you can add those expresions.

Or:
Type in coman line "Rtext" answer to dhe question wit "Diesel!

That is it.
Enjoy

Zmei

PS: after that you can edit the expresions using object !properies

If I have understood your original question properly, I think you should try Plot Stamp in AutoCAD, hopefully thats your working platform. I am not sure which versions contains this feature, certainly AutoCAD 2002 has the feature.

Type 'plotstamp' on the command line, and a dialog box appears, with an option for printing the filename - it includes the whole path..
