    Default Review Drawing History within a .DWG

    I am using AutoCAD 2017 now, on 2015 I was able to type in history of a drawing I was working on to see who else had been in the drawing. It also gave me the drawing creation day, and the time the drawing was open or worked on. I can not find this now in the 2017 version. Can someone tell me the correct command to get this information or has it been removed from AutoCAD?

    Thanks for the help.

    AFAIK, plain autocad has never had a drawing history option to track the prior users/edits/sessions. Softdesk used to -- basically a routine that on open stored the loginname of the user, date/time. and the handle of the last entity in the drawing database. Perhaps your old installation had something similar built in LISP?

    The only thing built in that is close to what you are saying would be the result of the commands: TIME & maybe STATUS.
