Patrick Hughes Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not sure I understand what data you are extracting from. Drawing properties? If you are talking about AutoCAD's timing features they are pretty useless unless a strict disipline in their usage is established and adhered to. Even then not so much.

Select my DXE file... Total Editing Time under the category Drawing... Some number... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 OK, thanks. It looks like that is simply extracting from the drawing properties that you would see if you examined the file properties by right clicking in Windows Explorer. My guess is the value is in either minutes or seconds - you could test it by begining a new file and keeping it open for several minutes, close it and check against the value you extract. If you are looking to find the actual editing time you may be disappointed in finding the value simply reflects the time you have the drawing open and activating/deactivating the time mechanism within AutoCAD. At least I think that's how it works. Perhaps you might like to try my CadTempo software. It may give you the information you are looking for.

I downloaded it the other day and am testing it, but it's not very intuitive to use. Is there a user's guide (other than the help menu)?

Is there a user's guide (other than the help menu)? Glad to hear you're trying it out. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have that will help me make it work more to your liking (preferably e-mail or PM so as not to pollute the forum). It is important to me to make the program work intuitively - the problem is there are so many "intuitives" to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got several questions so, give me a moment to collect them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so it's clear for those who know how to use the search, the extraction represents minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
