Stamping the Date/Time
is feature works only using the keyboard.
You can “stamp” an overlay with the current date and/or time, depending on
which display mode you selected in the Set Date/Time Menu (see Assigning Marker
Colors, on page 71).
While active (or positionable) the date/time stamp is represented by an icon. e
numerical date and/or time will appear as soon as you anchor the icon. You can
anchor only one Date/Time stamp on each overlay. To reposition a stamp, activate
the command again. e old stamp disappears and the new stamp appears, ready
for positioning.
Before anchoring a date/time stamp, you may want to select a new color for the
stamp’s text (see Assigning Marker Appearance, on page 71).
