Starting drawings read-only

Does anyone know of a way to force all drawings to open read-only by
default?
Thanks,
Cliff Davis

 

In a previous post Cliff Davis says...

Find the files with Windows Explorer. Highlight same. Right click and
select "Properties" Check box that says "Read Only". Close

 

I think the keyword here was "all", not changing each file one by one.

 

What I was refering to is making an AutoCAD station always open all drawings
read-only, regardless of the read-only status of the drawing or any other
factor.
Thank you,
Cliff Davis

I don't think that is possible, but I could be mistaken. Why do you
want to do this?

 

Assuming a network, couldn't this be done by restricting network privileges
and keeping the
files on another "protected" machine?

 

That's what I thought. No, to my knowledge there is no way to do that.
