Approval/document Security
Approval/document Security
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to revise our EDC (engineering document control) and was wondering if there is a way to securely insure the following in the titleblock (within autocad of course):
1) Only the Configuration Manager can enter the rev. #
2) Only x can enter x in the approved box... etc.
3) When completed (1) and (2) cannot just be copied to another job and mistakenly have approvals etc. where there should not be any.
Regards,
TULUM

RE: Approval/document Security
-Create hidden attributes that individuals can only edit programmatically.
-Use a PDM to contol documents.
-Use DWF to distribute documents and retain "signatures" that are only importable by DWG user.
-Timestamp alterations and record their time (retain dwg file with that exact time).
-I believe Autodesk is working on digital signatures for dwg files.
A few that come to mind, we use a PDM by the way.
