dcl_BlockView_PreLoadDwg causes a DWL file to be generated.  Is this neccesary?  I'm trying to write code that covers a form that references data via ObjectDBX in a remote "standards" drawing from accessing said drawing when it's opened.  Another option (which I think would aide OpenDCL well) would be a dcl_DrawingLocked or Opened routine to return either a T or nil.  Owen - How difficult would that be??

What would be my workaround in this case?  I guess I could keep "edit" files but that just makes things more complicated.  Is there a shell function I could use? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

This appears to be an AutoCAD bug. The OpenDCL code is calling AutoCAD with a flag telling it to open the file as read-only, but the flag seems to be ignored.

Still a bug in 2009 . . ..
