DWG use log

[peterjwinberg]

Is there any way to  see when a certain DWG may have been used? For example, I want to see which user opened and saved a certain file back in early March. Our servers aren't backed up that far, so I'm hoping the software has a way of telling me...

The drawing properties only shows date created, last modified and last access.

OK, thanks.

Unless I use LOGFILEON, this is just how it is.

You can track it with DWGLOG (separate DWH files), with Drawing_Props (inside a DWG): https://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/how-to-show-who-saved-the-dwg-drawing-last-tip8494 or with JobTime (in Excel): https://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/tracking-job-time-spent-on-editing-of-a-dwg-drawing-tip8135
