John, you posted the reply I was thinking from the start; do it all over from scratch within the time limits. 

The assignment may have been unrealistic, as many academic exercises are, but it does have a purpose.  Photoshopping an answer won't satisfy it.
 
Dave.

Dude: What's that down in the right hand corner of your screen?  Why it's the date and time.  Think hard.  Where can one reset both the date and the time on a computer?  Put the X-Box away for a minute and think.]]> Sat, 15 Sep 2012 01:51:50 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8369&PID=21514&title=replace-a-drawing#21514 <![CDATA[Replace a drawing : i think i read something about...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8369&PID=21508&title=replace-a-drawing#21508 Author: unheeding

it's not just a matter of time spent, but date created! Besides, we're talking days of time here...

this method would not preserve my layouts, which i spent a lot of hours doing

Hey guys,

i have to give this assignment to my teacher and he takes off points if you spent a certain amount of time on the drawing (he's going to use time command). what i need to do is take everything on my file (model AND layouts) and put it on another file where my time (date created, spent time, editing time ect.) is perfect. i know that my file will count that as the "last time modified" but it won't matter.

So basically i am going to delete what is on the "good time" file and replace it with everything from the other one. How do i do that?? In the end it has to be the same drawing with the same layouts but with different time/date settings.

Please don't tell me it's cheating i'm actually a good student, but this counts for a huge part of my semester and i really need to get the best grade i can!

THANKS ]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2012 06:29:14 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=8369&PID=21498&title=replace-a-drawing#21498
