open dwg

If you open a drawing through a program, is there a way you can tell if it
had to be opened readonly?

More specifically, if you have a script running, opening and closing many
drawings, and you don't want the script to bomb if the drawing is locked for
any reason, how could you do it?

 

Here is a previous discussion on the subject:

Doslib also has a openp function to check for open.

Depends on the version of autocad you're running...

With 2005 it uses a lock file to identify if the file is opened by someone
else...

So all you'd have to do is look to see if existing do this or that... as a
condition statement within your sub-function...
