      AutoCAD has a Plot Option box where one can include a plot stamp (w/date, path of file...etc). This features helps when locating a drawing when you are unable to recall the file location on your computer. Does SU have a plot/print option? I have reviewed the "How to Print w/Sketchup, nothing there. Is there a Plot/Stamp "plug-in"?

        Sketchup.active_model.path returns the full path to the SKP.
        and Time.now returns the time/date.
        To get the user try ENV["USERNAME"]

        You can tailor the 'date' by using things like:
        "#{Time.now.year}-#{Time.now.month}-#{Time.now.day}"giving 2013-4-2
        It'd be straight forward to add some screen-text that included these text strings.
        Updating it could be done with an onStart observer ?
