LogOff - session inactivity shutdown

Terminates idle AutoCAD NLS license

LogOff (V1.7/2006 upd 4/2005) is an ARX application for AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006 or 2000/2000i/2002 or Rel.14 (or MAP or Land or Mechanical or Architectural Desktop) by XANADU (former AAC Solutions/CAD Studio). It performs an automatic logoff from an AutoCAD session on user inactivity timeout. Helps to clear any unused/idle AutoCAD LAN license (NLS) when user forgets to end (exit) his/her AutoCAD session... No more hanging consumed licenses on AutoCAD LAN License Server!

System requirements

LogOff requires AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006 or 2000/2000i/2002 or Rel.14 (or MAP or Mech/Arch/Land Desktop) running on Windows NT4/2000/XP or Windows 95/98.

LogOff supports both the Elan and FLEXlm network Autodesk license servers.

Usage

By setting LogOff options you can set inactivity timeout and default behavior on timeout - Quit, Save to current, Save to specified (not applicable in A2000-MDE) or Save to "logoff_dwgname" drawing file. At the launch of a new session user is warned that his/her last session was timeouted (and quitted or saved to file XXX). Inactivity means no command issued, no mouse click for a given period and no command currently active. Logoff starts a countdown (dialog+beeps) after this inactivity period and if the countdown is not confirmed (period restarted), the current session is gracefully ended.

Backup files are saved to the original drawing's folder.

Known issues
