To monitor and log file operations you'd need a document management system - e.g. Autodesk Vault.
You can place drawings in a network folder with restricted access (R/O flag) or you can use something like CADVault (DWG drawing protection, DRM).

The place I work we have a issue with other employees going into drawings and changing them.  Is there any way to make the cad drawings read only?  Or is there a way to monitor who is making the changes and when?]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:51:45 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=171&PID=396&title=making-drawings-read-only#396
