Specifies the security-related operations to be performed on a drawing.
Supported platforms: Windows only
Read-only: No
Type: Long; AcadSecurityParamsType enum
Specify one or more of the following constants for drawing encryption, drawing properties encryption, a digital signature, or a time stamp.
Each constant represents a security-related operation. When you use the Action property, at some point in the set of operations you must set the Action property to either the ACADSECURITYPARAMS_ENCRYPT_DATA constant, the ACADSECURITYPARAMS_SIGN_DATA constant, or to both.
To specify multiple security-related operations, add the constants representing the operations. For example, to sign a drawing and use a time stamp, specify the following:
ACADSECURITYPARAMS_SIGN_DATA + ACADSECURITYPARAMS_ADD_TIMESTAMP
VBA:
Sub Example_Action() ' This example encrypts and saves a file. Dim sp As AcadSecurityParams Set sp = GetInterfaceObject("AutoCAD.SecurityParams.20") sp.Action = AcadSecurityParamsType.ACADSECURITYPARAMS_ENCRYPT_DATA sp.Algorithm = AcadSecurityParamsConstants.ACADSECURITYPARAMS_ALGID_RC4 sp.KeyLength = 40 sp.Password = UCase("mypassword") 'AutoCAD converts all passwords to uppercase before applying them sp.ProviderName = "Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0" sp.ProviderType = 1 ThisDrawing.SaveAs "C:\MyDrawing.dwg", , sp End Sub
