    Posted: 18.Mar.2009 at 20:24

I am using Civil 3D 2008. I am trying to insert text into my drawing which pulls current Date/Time into RTEXT.  I have the code "$(edtime, 0, MON DD"," YYYY)" for aquiring the date. does anyone know the code for grabbing the current time?  If so it would be greatly appreciated.

 
Thanks

Just add HH:MM to the timestamp mask. There are also other methods for adding time/date - see:

Thanks, I knew it was something easy.  I had put it in the RTEXT all wrong.  Thanks for your help.
