1000 points to the first person who can give me a simple way to put a print time & date stamp on my drawings.

Here's an idea

Embed an Excel sheet with =NOW() in a cell. The sheet won't reevaluate until you access it, so create a macro that accesses it, then prints the drawing. All you have to do is then run the macro.

Or, when you print from SW, you should see a Documents Option on the Print dialogue window... click the option that says Header/Footer.

When the Header/Footer dialogue window comes up, select where you want your date and time, and in what format. "The attempt and not the deed confounds us."

1000 points to MadMango!
I finally discovered that this is saved in the DOCUMENT TEMPLATE.
This was one-of-those-things; I knew there had to be a simple solution.

netshop21,
No macro needed. Do what MadMango said in your template. Print the template to set the date & time. Now save your template. Bradley

No I don't have a macro, was just an idea, but it's moot cause mango's method is much cleaner.
