Is there a formula for the current date? At times I print floor maps and want the current date to show. I am accustomed to Visio, which is easy to do. Thanks.
Hi
Currently, there is no direct formula or field for displaying the current date that updates automatically for printing purposes.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
Thanks for the quick response.
Where do I submit an enhancement request.
Printing is not dead. From a person who started out in printing, I have heard that for 20+ years.
And having the current date is a big plus on a print.
I am not a developer, but it seems it would be a fairly simple add.
Thanks again.

Good morning
I wanted to see if I could accomplish what you are asking for, and it looks like if you added a shape to the canvas and then added a data field formula =NOW and added that to the shape, it will show the date and time when you print the file. Would this work for your needs?
