Controls the date format that is output on the isometric drawing and printed listings in a 2- or 4-digit year format. By default, the actual date that the software outputs is taken from either the PDF (pipeline data file) that is created by the host 3D design software or the computer system at the time the drawing is generated.
There are three format options plus an option switch setting to suppress any date
output, even though a date exists in the IDF.
