We use Year/Month/Day for much of our work.

2D drawings are pretty inflexible at the moment.

This is a big issue for me - in 99% of the world we use dd/mm/yy or a slight variant of. Why default to the 1% US date format - seems a weird choice. Likewise in the UK showing fractional measurements with a comma instead of a period is also bizarre - it’s common on the continent of Europe but causes confusion in the UK.

What are locales not being used?

Hi,

If you update to the newest version you will be able to change the text fields in the title block by double clicking on them. This opens up the possibility to change the content of the title block including entering the date in the desired format.

thank you for this sorkaround, it allows to change the date manually. however it should be generated at the locale of the device format. even in europe, some countries are not using slashes as date separator, for example germany uses -

Fully agree with you. S3D should use the locale setting used within the system.
