Express tools - edittime
it is a simple but effective time-in-drawing timer in Autocad.
shame it doesn't work.
Is there anything else, apart from the rather useless 'TIME' command?

Further to the above
Looking at the express tools help, the tools sub-menu does not have EDITTIME listed
so that's why it doesn't work!0 -
By typing "time" the following appears

I've seen that. But Edittime has a very useful feature - it can be set to timeout after a period - so when you go to lunch your drawing will not be updating the timer!0

Edittime is an Autodesk ARX file. There are quite a few links about converting ARX to BRX on the web. There is a Bricscad SDK available for signing up as a developer, but it would be beyond my expertise. I guess I'll just have to keep my work time on projects on scraps of paper and hope I don't miss anything!0

And in fact three years later there is an edittime tool in V5 - but I can't turn it off!
So if I open a file to look at it, it is marked as changed because edittime updates when the file is opened0 -
Could you please report this via Support request? It seems something wrong with deactivation of EDITTIME, the only way to turn it Off I found is using of another User profile.

Lyubov could you do this and cc me re the answer? I'm not sure how to do a Support request…
I am actually finding EDITTIME quite useful as it seems to keep track of a number of drawings, but it would be good to be able to turn it off without having to use another User profile!

I agree strongly - "it is marked as changed because edittime updates when the file is opened" - who cares about that?
I need to know the cumulative length of periods (say 5-minute) in which genuine-edit commands (i.e. commands which alter the model or its attributes, disregarding e.g. Zoom or VisualStyle) were being executed.
And the last time/date that happened (i.e. when the drawing/version was frozen, disregarding later times when it was simply opened or e.g. Zoom or VisualStyle).

Tom, this may be helpful, it looks at your commands used. I guess could put a timer in it. record every 5 minutes.

Please follow steps from this article:
A request has more weight, if it's created by client with maintainance, than internally.
