If you need to distribute DWG files, CADvault is probably the only viable and reliable option. If you need protection on a "system" level, you should publish your CAD data in the DWF format - such data are protected "by design" plus there is a password protection.

Do you know any program (aplication, lisp etc.) to protect all elements in drawing dwg against changing, copying, making new layouts.. everything without clean printing (but not to vector graphic, file) and measuring?. But I don't think about apllications like cadlock, cadvault, whitch need installing program and which does't block making new layouts. I meen sth like functions of acrobat, where I can change rights of file (f. ex. only print without password, but editing and saving as diffrent name with password)
I think about situation, when this files are often Angry using  in other designs without our  notice or agreement.
Do you have any idea? Cry
