Diesel Text

[dixxy]

Hello,

I have just reinstalled AutoCad 2004 on a mew computer. I am having the following problem. Before i was using Diesel Text or something similar to give me date and time stamp on my drawings. This is what I was using:

$(edtime, 0, DDDD", "DD". "MON YYYY - H:MM)

Now I can't get this to work, even if I opend a drawing that was done on the other computer.

Why? What I am missing?

Thanks,

Sylvain

Thanks,

Sylvain

Look in Express Tools help for "rtext". Example copied from there:

$(edtime, 0, MON DD"," YYYY - H:MMam/pm)

No, don't have that file. But here's a good site on Diesel:
