Topic: Inventor Plot Stamp?

Does it exist?

How do I turn it on / adjust it? ...if it exists that is.

From what I just found it must be done as iLogic:

Here is the iLogic rule we use (also attached as a TXT file):
 
Dim odrawdoc As DrawingDocument
odrawdoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
customPropertySet = odrawdoc.PropertySets.Item("Inventor User Defined Properties")
Try
      prop = customPropertySet.Item("iLogicPrintDate")
Catch
      customPropertySet.Add("", "iLogicPrintDate")
End Try
Try
Dim PlotDate As Date
PlotDate = Now

iProperties.Value("Custom", "iLogicPrintDate") = PlotDate
Catch
End Try
InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
 This code creates a custom iProperty called iLogicPrintDate, then reads the current date and stores it to that iProperty.
 
We have some text in our drawing border that displays the values of several properties: drawing creator, iLogicPrintDate, and file path and name.  This is what it looks like:

Next question: What is iLogic? 

Found it, how / where do you learn it? I am not seeing this in the CAD Associates degree classes but maybe I am wrong?

Typically offered as an advanced class by the local reseller.
