Time Stamp

Time Stamps may be added to drawings using the menu commands shown above which are found on the Text Main Menu. There are 4 different versions of time stamps available.

A Time Stamp is created by selecting the appropriate menu item. The new Time Stamp is created and initially placed in the middle of the screen. Use the Arrow Tool or Hand Tool to place the Time Stamp anywhere on the drawing.

Now

The "Now" selection creates a "User Time Stamp" like the first example shown above. The time placed in the time stamp is the instant that the user created the time stamp. This time remains static, does not change, and cannot be edited with standard text editing activities.

Last Change

This selection creates a "Change" time stamp like the second example shown above. The time shown will change automatically every time the drawing is changed in any way. The text cannot be edited with standard text editing activities.

Last Save

This selection creates a "Save" time stamp like the third example shown above. The time shown is updated each time the drawing is saved to the hard drive. The text cannot be edited with standard text editing activities.

Create

This selection places a "Create" time stamp like the forth example shown above. The time shown is the time that the drawing was created. This is the time at the instant when the initial "Untitled" window was opened. This is a static time stamp, it will not change and cannot be edited.

Format

This calls a window panel that provides an interface for specification of the format of the date and time components of a time stamp.
