AutoLog 1.0
Copyright, 1989 by DataDraft and Scott Hucke
System Security for AutoCad<tm>
Autolog is written to allow for security in your AutoCad
installation and to buffer users from using Dos. Many Designers
and Engineers do not have time to be trained in MS-Dos as well
as AutoCad. This program automates the process of logging into
drawings and running Acad. It also keeps the janitor from
messing with your drawings.
Setup......
Autolog is fairly easy to setup. Most firms have employee
numbers that can be used as login numbers for the program. After
giving users numbers you can ask them what they would like for
there passwords. Once this information has been gathered, you
simply edit the included User.CTL file to reflect your firm's
members. The user.ctl format is:
usernumber password user name
example: 1125 MONKEY John Smith
You may place as many blank spaces between the fields as you
wish but the user.ctl must be in the same subdirectory that your
autolog program is run in. All passwords are case sensitive.
This means that if your password is in uppercase you must enter
it in upper case when running the program.
The next file to create is the Autolog.ctl. this file contains
three lines. They are:
Autocad Directory (drive and subdirectory where AutoCad resides)
Autolog directory (drive and subdirectory where AutoLog resides)
Plot script (drive,subdirectory, and name of plot script)
example: c:\acad
c:\log
c:\acad\plot
The Autolog.ctl must also reside in your AutoLog Directory.
The last thing that must be done to run the AutoLog system is to
place necessary directory change to the Autolog directory and
the line "AutoLog" at the end of your Autoexec.bat file.
When your system is booted up you will be in the AutoLog program
and will stay in that program unless a ctrl-c is issued after
selecting which program to run. This is provided to allow for
base level Dos work. The Dos option on the menu is provided in a
Dos shell so all the memory is not available because a small
portion is used for the shell.
Using AutoLog.....
Enter a qualified user number and password. Select the action to
initiate from the main menu. Choices are:
A. Edit an AutoCad Drawing
B. Plot an AutoCad drawing
C. Dos
If you chose A or B AutoLog will ask for a drawing path and
name. If your drawings reside on a drive other that your AutoCad
program please include a drive.
Once a choice has been made AutoLog will take over and begin
your drwing session or take you to dos if that is your
choice. Once you have ended your drawing session Autolog will be
on the screen for the next attempt. Any unauthorized attempts
will be thwarted.
