file review

[JMT]

Good morning to all,

I hope this is the part of the right forum otherwise I apologize in advance.
I have autocad files containing standard component blocks and I would need to be sure that the user always open the latest version of those files.
for excel files I exploited the open workbook event and I go to check the rev index written within a txt file; in autocad it is possible to do something similar?

Good day to all

1 - thisdrawing.setvariable "users1", "test"
2 - strvalore=thisdrawing.getvariable("users1")

with the first write, the other law, at the closure of the file the value is deleted.

or

1 - thisdrawing.setvariable "userr1", 1.0
2 - dblvalore=thisdrawing.getvariable("userr1")
Write and read a double-precision number, saved in the dwg.
