Hi,
is it possible to make the drawing read only without close the file so that another person work on it.
Now, we are closing the file and re open as read only which is unwanted if i want the same drawing for reference purpose.
kindly provide an idea.

A lot of times when there is going to be collaboration within a team for a project, your problem may be solved by using the command XREF. This enables you to attach several drawings into one file for reference. While allowing work to proceed from several users.
For instance, if my team was designing a bridge project:
One member creates the bulkhead designs.
One member creates drainage plans.
One member creates pretensioned beam designs.
One member creates a lighting plan.
And so on...
If all those drawings are XREF'd into a single drawing, then all can see each others progress and can adjust in real time, so there is no interference from each other.
