Does anyone have a plotstamp routine that is visible in a 2009 C3D dwg
« on: March 08, 2009, 05:19:49 PM »
Hi all
    First off I'm familar with the plotstamp that is available, but it won't show in the dwg. My clients want it in.
It is something that worked nicely in LDD, but now is not visible. Does anyone have a routine developed for that?

Thanks

I seem to remember with 2008 that the provided plot stamp fell outside of the plot if I was plotting to extents and centering the plot.  I set up plotting to plot the layout and made certain the drawing frame was positioned correctly and the plot stamp appeared.  I still did not care for the positioning and wound up rolling my own stamp using fields and placing it in the template.

Hi
   I need to clarify. I can use the existing plot stamp, but it won't reside in the dwg while I'm working in it, it will
only show when plotted. I would like to see it in the dwg while I'm working on it. It helps in keeping tracking.

Thanks

The plot stamp I created with fields was visible within the drawing but only if I was in the layout tab with the full drawing frame visible.  The information was correct to the date and time the file was opened or possibly with the last save depending on which field value was being referenced.  Sorry, that is all I have to offer.  I think there is a plot stamp routine in here somewhere, but it is the one I borrowed and modified to my needs so relies on fields as well.

Hi
   That is what I'm in need of. So, you think it is in the swamp somewhere?... any guesses where?
Thanks for you input, knew someone had to use a oldie but goodie routine. All my old ones
used functions inside of LDD and weren't available with the same calls anymore.

Many Thanks

As I recall, there was no routine just a block that I modified . . . a search for "plot stamp" reveled a few examples in various places throughout TheSwamp but none were the one I co-opted.  My modified block still resides at my previous employer.  I might have an early copy on a different computer if you can't find anything else before tomorrow.

EDIT -

here is a copy of the block

Yeah man. Fields are one of my best friends. I would just set your fieldeval to 31 on your template (and any other current dwgs) so with all future dwgs it'll be ready to go.

Okay, I haven't used that function yet, found it, so for grins do you have a dwg with that inserted so I can see how to?

Many thanks

You will learn more by just doing it ...

We'll stand by ready to assist.

I think you will be able to work it out.

So go add some fields...when they work let us know

If they do not, let us know...and post your efforts.

Trust us. It is as easy as pie. Mike already pretty much said how to do them above...

Field>>>Plot (field being the command, plot being the category where you can then pick which type of plot stamp as well as format how you want it to display),

construct as desired

or Field>>>Document....

Alan, there are many ways of doing this.
The operative phrase being 'doing'.
Me thinks this user will do just fine at this task. The instant they do it.
