A Date Engraving Custom Macro
By Brian Glick of Vermeer Corporation Here is a custom macro I developed for machining centers. It allows you to automatically engrave the current date on a part as it is being machined. The date is engraved along the X-axis in numbers 3/16" high with .0375" spacing and in the yyddd format (which we required). In this format, December 31, 2007, would read 07365 for the 365th day of 2007; however, it would not be a problem to modify the macro to arrange the date in any format
