whohas command

[gregwill]

In autocad 2000 there is a whohas command. I've tried using the command but all I get is "no owner information available". What needs to be done in order to find out who has a drawing file open.

Thanks

You must ensure that every user has the whohas.arx loaded:-

The following information is from the AutoCAD 2000 online manuals:

Displays ownership information for opened drawing files

You can use WHOHAS to track which users have certain drawing files opened.
If you want to use WHOHAS, whohas.arx (an ObjectARX application) must be
loaded into AutoCAD using the APPLOAD command. In addition, all computers
whose drawing-ownership information you want to track must have whohas.arx
loaded.

When you open a drawing file that has already been opened and then use the
WHOHAS command, whohas.arx displays a summary that includes the current
owner's computer name, the owner's login ID, the owner's full name (if
available), and the date and time the drawing file was opened.

Command line: whohas

AutoCAD displays the Select File to Query dialog box (a standard file
selection dialog box). After you select a file, AutoCAD displays the
ownership information on the command line if the file is open by a user who
has whohas.arx loaded.

use the following code in your acaddoc.lsp file to load the prg
(if (setq whohs (findfile "whohas.arx"))(arxload whohs "Whohas Already Loaded-NKM")(princ "Cannot load Whohas. File cannot be found"))
once loaded then you can type whohas and get the info. REmeber the DWK files, well this creates DWL files for that purpose

Don't forget also that everyone needs to have this ARX loaded. It will not
work if you alone loaded it but the other person, who has the drawing open,
didn't.
