To create a data stamp:

1. Click the Data Stamp tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.

2. Click on the drawing at the desired location to place a data stamp.

If this is the first time the object is inserted in this session, the Object Properties dialog box opens. Specify the preferences to use for this tool during this session, and then click OK.

3. Click again to set the rotation.

The data stamp parameters can be edited from the Object Info palette.

The date and time formats are determined by each Vectorworks application user’s local computer settings.
