Question
Hi,
I am looking for a lisp routine to load and insert date/time/filename/location etc. on the left bottom side of dwg. sheets. I am using Autocad 2002. I remember when using R2000 sometime ago there was an option under plot settings to have this information inserted when plotting. I have little knowledge of lisp programming, so if you can help and may be give a step by step instruction how to load.
Thank Amar
Amar:
The same command applies. It is PLOTSTAMP. Try it. If you can't use it, or if it is totally wrong for what you do, write again, and we'll think of another solution. You will need to create a plot stamp configuration file for the first time.
Keep in touch

Expertise
I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.
Experience
I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.
Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
