12 AAC
36.185 has been amended
to read:
12
AAC 36.185. USE OF SEALS.
(d) The registrant shall include the date each time the registrant signs and seals a document by electronically or manually inserting the date within the seal or within two inches of the seal.
A new subsection has been added to read:
(f) An electronic image of a signature may be used on the seal if the registrant or the owner of the documents retains an original copy of the documents, accessible for later reference, that has either
(1) an original hand signature over the seal; or
(2) software in place that will automatically remove or modify the electronic image of the signature if the document is modified.
The AELS
Board is not planning to redesign the seal, but did want
to make suggestions as to how the date could be included.
These
are two examples that the AELS Board would like to use
to illustrate the new requirement:

DTEXT or
MANUAL
This
is how a registrant could manually insert the date each
time they signed, just under the signature line. This can
also be done with Dtext in an AutoCad electronic seal.
Dtext would have to be filled in each time the seal was
used.

DIESEL EXPRESSION
This
is an example of an AutoCad feature that will automatically
insert the current date into an electronic stamp each time
it is applied. The registrant would sign the document after
printing, with the computer-generated date inserted under
the signature line. Modifying your electronic stamp to
allow the automatic insertion of the current date would
be acceptable to the Board. This is one example using the Diesel programming
language.
For
More Information:
To
create a Diesel expression for the date:
1. AutoCAD
command RText
brings up the following options: Command: rtext Enter
an option [Style/Height/Rotation/File/Diesel] <Diesel>:
2.
Choose D for Diesel.
3. In
the dialog box that pops up type: $(edtime,0,MON DD"," YYYY)
Example:

Pick
the OK button and you get the following prompt:
Specify start point of RText:
4. Pick
a spot in the drawing where you want to place the diesel
expression
and you
will get the following prompt:
Current
values: Style=ROMANS Height=9" Rotation=0.00000000
Enter an option [Style/Height/Rotation/Edit]:
5.
You may choose an option to edit the [Style/Height/Rotation/Edit]
or Hit return to exit out of RText.
(The
resulting
Diesel expression is also editable with
Properties at
a later
time if you need to.)
