'DrawnBy' Macro

Ben Farley Feb 16, 2017 3:47 PM

How do I auto-populate 'Drawnby' custom property with PDM Workgroup user login?

I've tried the 'Author' property, but every time someone checks-in a file it overwrites the original creators name.

Does this even require a macro, or is there a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks for any help.

  What program is that image taken from?
  Sorry I don't have any experience with macros, so please excuse my ineptitude.
  
  Thanks though for the help!

    Sorry Ben,
    
    That was our EPDM Data Card.
    
    For use in a macro, you can use
    Drawnby = Environ("Username")
    
    If you need to force "uppercase" you can use
    Ucase(Drawnby)
