    Question Tracking time in drawings

    We have recently upgraded from Autocad 2000i with LDD to a Civil 3D subscription with Land Desktop and Civil Design Companion. In 2000i the today window kept track of the drawings that were opened each day. That was an easy way for me to keep track of which projects I had worked on. Is there any way to do this in Land Desktop 2005 or 2006? Or maybe a program that will do it?

    Thanks

    Try EDITTIME command from ExpressTools.
    It seems will help you.

    Sorry Mark, I'm new to forums. I don't know what a PM is. I would like to try your application if I could. Thanks for the response. Let me know what you need to know. Not sure if I should post my email address here or not.

    Thanks

    PM is a private message... just click on the user's name on the left, you'll get dropdown option to view their profile or send a PM... then you type, hit send, and when you get one, you'll see a notice (upper right corner, Welcome, jbbarrus. you last visited: Today at Private Message: 1) then you can exchange email addy's without making it public...)

    I turn on maintain a log file in options and use those. It's clunky, but gives a thorough useage history.
