Is there any way to enable a warning that another user has an autocad file open when you go to open that same file throught dropbox? I am looking for something similar to the dropbox badge that appe...
I saw that, when we are working in the same .doc file, Dropbox ask if you want to block the file to the other users.
But, in the case of AutoCAD (.dwg files), that option don't appear and the 2 members of the same team can open the file at the same time without asking for writing rights.
I think it will be very useful if Dropbox detects when a file is already open.
I guess it will be easy to implement this option in dropbox because when you open a .dwg file, Autocad creates a temporarly .dwl and .dwl2 files in the same folder that could indicate the file is open by other user. Could you add this option in Dropbox?
It is so absolutely amazing that Dropbox and Autodesk are partners but can create an environment when drawings are open they show up as read-only across the Dropbox network! I know it can be done because that environment exists with the Microsoft Office environment.
P.S. I know this not a new idea. Get your act together and give your users the experience they deserve.
