Locking DWGs for Edit
Locking DWGs for Edit
(OP)
Hi guys,
I need to know if there is any method or a small program or routine to lock a dwg such that noone can edit entities or copy and paste objects. Only zoom, pan, plot and viewing commands can be run.
Thanks![[thumbsup2] thumbsup2](https://www.tipmaster.com/images/thumbsup2.gif)

I use DWF's.

I guess DWF's would great for placing a drawing to a web site.

It is easy to do, but it's still a little known trick.
FYI, I have used this in the past to send a dwg to clients. You can print it, but you can't modify the entities.
