Digital ID Visibility to VB

    In AutoCAD 2004, we can use a digital certificate to sign a dwg file. After it is signed, users who open the file can see if the certificate is there or not. Once a user makes a change to the dwg, the digital certificate is automatically discarded. This makes it very easy to see if any one has changed a drawing.

    What I need to find out is how I can see if the digital certificate is there or not there from within a VBA macro in AutoCAD 2004. I've checked the AutoCAD documentation, their newsgroups, and their knowledgebase articles with no luck. Even Google was no help with this one. So I figured, register here and post this topic and see if the answer is out there...Cheers!

    Access and look at the security parameters [AcadSecurityParams] of the
    active document...it's my understanding that if there is nothing [ie
    AcadSecurityParams.Issuer = "" ] then there's no certificate.

    How do you access the SecurityParams for the active document? I can not find any property or method exposed which will return this information...

    The only info that I found for this is related to the Save or SaveAs. In these cases we create a SecurityParams object to pass to the Save or SaveAs.

    All in all, the digital certificate stuff seems to be poorly documented.

    Thanks for your help!

    Have you been able to attach a digital signature through vba or vb? I have unable to get it to work and have had to resort to manual methods (tools>
    etc).

    Look under ActiveX in the help -> objects-> securityparams
