Tracking of job-time spent on a DWG file in AutoCAD.
JOBTIME is a time-tracking reactor for AutoCAD (any version),
which automatically logs true (net) editing time spent in
the current AutoCAD drawing. Idle periods (longer than the
defined timeout) are not counted to the tracked time.
Displays a program settings dialog where you can switch the reactor on/off, set its parameters and show current statistics.
Allows to set and view parameters from the commandline.
The JobTime module contains commands - as documented above. You can start them via the ribbon or commandline.
The time-tracking information is stored automatically in custom propeties - _DWGPROPS > Custom. JobTime defines the properties:
JOBTIME.VLX has to be loaded in each session for fully automatic operation! DWG file-editing sessions with JobTime.vlx not loaded cannot be tracked!
The tracking-reactor is ON by default. Using the JOBTIME command (or its commandline counterpart: -JOBTIME) you can setup the tracking parameters and see detailed statistics. All tracking is updated inside the DWG file on every SAVE command. Logging history (if enabled) is stored in a TXT (tab-delimited) or CSV (comma-delimited) file on drawing close (if the drawing was saved at least once in this session).
The preset parameters are stored in the Windows Registry (HKCU, AutoCAD, Applications > JobTime) so they are kept between drawings and sessions.
You can also install JobTime company-wide by including it in your deployment images and by setting the Registry keys using GPO or other network deployment tool.
NB: a single idle time of e.g. 60 minutes when timeout is set to 10 minutes is counted as a half (5 min.) to the tracked time
The installer that ran when you downloaded this plug-in from AutoCAD Exchange has already installed the plug-in. You may need to restart AutoCAD to activate the plug-in.
To uninstall this plug-in, simply rerun the installer by downloading it again from Exchange, and select the 'Uninstall' button, or you can uninstall it from 'Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features' (Windows 7) or Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP), just as you would uninstall any other application from your system. The panel on the Plug-ins tab will not be removed until AutoCAD is restarted.
