For anyone following, this is what we ended up with as a solution:
Please follow below mentioned steps to achieve desired result:
2. Use a pre/postprocessing hook to change this int the intermediate file itself to dd.mm.yy like this
TEXTNODES
FILENAME dummy-0--mEX-OPM-iso-1
STYLE IFC
DATE 14.05.20
TIME 12:50:41
3. For this we need the following in the [0100] section of the isometric
; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Called before the intermediate file is interpreted
; Basic use is to augment/change the intermediate file
[0100]
RUN = $(IE_CONF)date.bat
4. Generate Iso output thereafter, you will get the desired result as shown below.
