Command: Manick Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am currently working on a drawing project that I'm being trained to create, and I am being taught new commands all the time. I want to be able to look at the history of the project I've been working on with my project managers so I can re-drill myself on how those commands worked and were executed. I've been told two different conflicting things about how far back the command log history goes. One person told me awhile ago, that the autocad created and keeps a history file from the very beginning of a drawing to the end, no matter how many days, weeks, or months it's been worked on. But one person told me just today that it only keeps record of the commands used in that file from the time the drawing file was opened in the program, till the point that it's closed where it is wiped clean. So who is right? =\ I really want to look back and find out what commands that my project managers used over the past two days on the same drawing because some of them are custom lisp commands. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You could turn on LOGFILEMODE and just view the textfile of everything printed to the commandline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 LOGFILEMODE=1 or _OPTIONS>Open and Save>File Safety Precaution>Maintain a log file (checked) You can also redirect the LOGFILEPATH Easiest is in _OPTIONS>Files>Log File Location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If you turn logfilemode on, you can record everything you do. Otherwise, if you just try to scroll back up through it, it will only record what you did in that session. Essentially both of the people told you correctly, they just didn't tell you all of it.

That one is a new one for me Alan. Thanks. I jump from drawing to drawing all day so it never gets to collect much history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
