Q - question

Tracking job time spent on editing of a DWG drawing.
A - answer The AutoCAD TIME command lists the total amount of time (hours) for which the specific DWG file was opened in AutoCAD. This includes idle times when you just leave your AutoCAD waiting for a command or displaying a prompt or a dialog box.

Sometimes several users are cooperating on a single DWG file and you want track their activity separately. And very often you don't need just a number buried in DWG file properties but also a textual or table information summarizing logged data.

All these functions are included in the time-tracking add-on utility CADstudio JobTime. This shareware tool keeps track of net editing time spent on a drawing in all its editing sessions and logs this information inside the DWG file (in custom properties) and in a standalone common Excel table. JobTime is a superset of the former EDITTIME tool.

You can get this type of data from JobTime:
