JeepMaster 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Currently my login name is saved to all the dwgs. Is there a way I can change the "Last saved by:" (under drawing properties) name to something else? I don't want my current login name to show up on all my drawings. It's not very professional to have a dwg saved by M'balz Es-hari. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReMark 100 Posted September 30, 2009 Sounds like something that would be stored in the Windows Registry and not addressable in AutoCAD itself. When you save a document (like from Word, Access or Excel) does the same thing happen (your login name saved as part of the document name)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeepMaster 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Actually, no. When I save word docs, my real name shows up, not my user login name because it's customizable in microsoft word. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReMark 100 Posted September 30, 2009 Have you asked your IT department about this? I'm sure they would not be thrilled if they found you hacking the Registry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chelsea1307 10 Posted September 30, 2009 You could always just change your log in name to something more proffesional Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeepMaster 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Well, I guess Sh?tFaster is out of the question too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReMark 100 Posted October 1, 2009 We have another comdeian in the house it seems. Have you spoken with IT yet? BTW, where in Alberta are you located? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeepMaster 0 Posted October 1, 2009 IT guy said it's too much trouble to set up a new username, move all my junk to that user name, re-setup all the permissions, remote terminals, timesheets, bla bla bla. I'm stuck with my login name as is. Hm...maybe I can login as his name. Edmonton, Aberta. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReMark 100 Posted October 1, 2009 Does the information get plotted in the exact same location each and every time you plot? Don't get the IT guy mad at you by hacking the Registry. He may lock you out of your own computer. Well I've been through Calgary, Banff and Jasper but I missed Edmonton although I've heard good things about it.

Strix 10 Posted October 2, 2009 Speak to your line manager or somebody above the IT dept and point out how much impact this can have on a client which nutcase let you have such a username anyway? It's hardly appropriate for the workplace in the first place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
