First Issue Date vs Current Issue Date

[SAM-PBD]

Hi Everyone, 

I am hoping for a more elegant solution than manual text input.  

When we issue the drawings, the date of the first issue of the drawing is the date that should appear in the title block of the drawing.  In Archicad, this also appears as the first issue of the drawing in the history.  Any revisions to the drawing will appear in the issue history, but the first date of the drawing issue should not change. 

At the moment we have to manually enter the text for the date of first issue in the layout settings of each layout.  Ideally I would like to read this from the drawing issue information.  Is there a way to do this? 

Thanks. 

Sam

If you know a little bit of GDL, you can using the LAYOUT_REVISION_HISTORY request. [1][4] should be the date of first issue. You would also probably want to include an IF statement to check if the drawing has been issued, and only output text if it has, or include a "Not Issued" note for a false return.

Thank you Ling, 

That is a good suggestion. I will need to look at this.

I update my WIP marker to do this.
