VIEW & PROTECT .DWG Files

[ARKLisp]

Hi folks! :D

Everybody knows how important is nowadays to handle tecnology and
informations...particularly if we are talking about our personal work.
So we can find a lot of software packages that promise us to protect our files...this feature is still lacking in AutoCAD, but fortunately third party software can help us.
Thanks to my little experience in Autolisp/vlisp programming I get the challenge...so with a little help from ARX too I have compiled a tiny macro in Visual LISP (less than 200 kbytes!) that works quite good...
it's free 100% and you can dowload and distribute it after having picked it up from the following link:

DWGguard TNT 2006 <english language special release for you>

Hope you'll enjoy my Autolisp essay o:)

You'll find readme.txt file for instructions inside the package.

Hi ARKLisp. Many people may be a little wary of clicking a link to a .exe file. Although I've no doubt that it is what you say it is, I think it would be more sensible to use a .zip for the download. We all have to be extra careful about security these days.

[ARKLisp]

You are right, of course!
However everybody can test this file using a good anti-virus program...and it will be surely a nice surprise to find that no danger is hiding inside it.
If you prefer you can rename "DWGguardTNT-ENG.exe" to
"DWGguardTNT-ENG.zip", you'll discover that it is a simple WINZIP file
from which you can extract the content.

Many thanks for your kind attention and collaboration :)

Hey guys...don' t you dare trying my application?
During this period it's just my strong point, I'm looking for any possible bug that could harm "Dwgguard security system" made on my own...
so please feel free to try this new experience into the world of Dwg security through Autolisp.

Please test it and then let me know your opinions, thahks!

I still think you'd get a better response if you offered a .ZIP download :wink:

Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware. I don't think the Romans had a word for "downloader" in their vocabulary. If they did we could substitute it for the word 'buyer' in the phrase. It applies to this situation.

Advice on virsuses typically states:

"An EXE file is an ‘executable’ file meaning it has the ability to do things.

ANY file that is executable can be dangerous. The primary executable files that are used for viruses are EXE, VBS, JS, HTA, and COM with VBS being the most common among this group."

No offense to ARKlisp but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

OK...you are right, I admit that this cad community is
more wary than I supposed.
As a matter of fact we all live in a virus world so any possible barrier against infections is legal...
cut the cackle, I accepted your advices...

Now I hope you will be happy and enjoy my work.
