Fusion 360 Drawings – Last Save Date

I recently replied to a forum post about a “last saved date” for Fusion 360 drawings. While there is no official attribute, there us a text variable that will work, this is what I shared:

This is not officially supported, but you can give the “AcVar SaveDate” variable a try. I’ve listed a few variations below so that you can get the formatting you require. This is similar to the formatting for fractions that I’ve mentioned elsewhere, the text editor will convert the string to a date.

The variables should work in text blocks, so can be added to the drawing itself, or the title block.

Keep an eye on the cursor in this GIF. You will see that when I save the file, the date (and time) updates.

%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss tt">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "M/d/yyyy">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "MMMM d, yyyy">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "M/d/yy">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "yyyy-MM-dd">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "d-MMM-yy">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "M.d.yyyy">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "%#x">%
%<\AcVar SaveDate \f "%#c">%
