Date in revision table changes to today's date when file is opened

George Chiu Jul 3, 2018 7:51 AM

Hi everyone, I'm using SW2018 SP3.0 with PDM Standard. Sometimes when I open a drawing file that is checked in, the date in the revision table will automatically change to today's date. This happens even if I don't check out the drawing file. Does anyone have an idea of what's causing this?

Did you use this ones?

$PRP:"SW- Created Date"
Thursday, May 17, 2007 10:02:23 AM

$PRP:"SW- Last Saved Date"
Thursday, May 17, 2007 12:36:52 PM

$PRP:"SW- Long Date"
Thursday, May 17, 2007

$PRP:"SW- Short Date"
5/17/2007

They're automatic values (you can't choose it) maybe you must to use a manual input for some cases I think.

  Ruben, I tried using the $PRP links you listed, but I'm still running into the same issue. The frustrating part is that this seems to be a random occurrence, so I can't pinpoint the issue. I think I'll just have to manually enter the revision table from now on. Thanks for your help.
