    Does anyone know of a way to Open a Drawing file in Read Only mode via the
    command line (ie: via Script or Lisp routine). I know you can do so via the
    Open File Dialogue box... but I can't find if there is any way to do so on the
    command line. I'm currently using LT2002.

    TIA,

    I'm not aware of any switch or variable within AutoCad that lets you
    specify this so the only thing I can think of is to define beforehand
    who can and can't have writable access to specified folders. Sorry, not
    much help. :-(

    I could tell you how to open dwg read-only in Visual Basic.
    The first thing I would try is messing around with the system
    variables.
    Change FILEDIA to 0 and then mess around with the script to include a
    read-only in the file name somehow.
    This one is interesting so I'll get back to you if I found something
    out, or if you do first let me know.
