You can add a text in your drawing which will automatically reflect the contents of a given environment variable on your PC.

Just add a text (e.g. by DTEXT) with the contents:

%<\AcDiesel $(getenv,TEMP)>%

(you can replace "TEMP" by the name of any other environment variable)

The contents of this dynamic field is updated on regen. Non-existing variables will display "----". You can add such text field also to a block attribute.
