Yes, I got the way of conversion:
Data_desenho=FormatDateTime(swPart.SummaryInfo(swSumInfoCreateDate),vbShortDate)
I sought information from the summary of SolidWorks.
I hope this helps others.

Yes, I want to create a form to fill the caption / format in Drawing.
If you know how to procure the conversion, please return.
Thank you.

I’ve no experiance with Visual Basic so I’m affraid I can’t help you. Why do you want to obtain the data/variables? Are you building a plugin for SolidWorks?

I want to convert the format of data obtained through the variable SolidWorks SW-Created Date w / the format day / month / year, how to proceed within Visual Basic??
Function in Visual Basic that returns the creation date of the file:
- Data_desenho = “$PRP:” & Chr(34) & “SW-Created Date” & Chr(34)
