Tracks the amount of active editing time for a drawing.
The timer can be turned on and off and can be reset. A timeout option suspends timing after a specified period of inactivity.
| Reset | Resets the timer to zero. If the timer is running, timing is automatically restarted. |
| Timeout | Specifies the period of inactivity, in minutes. When the timeout period expires, the timer automatically suspends timing. |
| On | Starts or resumes the timer. |
| Off | Stops the timer. |
EDITTIME-related data is stored per drawing in the Named Object Dictionary. The (acet-getvar ...) and (acet-setvar ...) functions, which are available in the acetutil.fas module, provide access to the BNS_EDITTIME_TOTAL profile variable. If EDITTIME has been enabled in a drawing, you can use (acet-getvar '("BNS_EDITTIME_TOTAL")) to extract the elapsed time (up to the opening of the current editing session) from the current drawing as a Julian time value (a REAL value, containing the number of 24-hour days the drawing has been in active use).
The following LISP functions are exported by edittime.arx:
| (acet-edittime-enable [onOff]) | Sets the current state if onOff is supplied. Otherwise returns the current state. |
| (acet-edittime-reset) | Resets the elapsed time value to zero. |
| (acet-edittime-total) | Returns the current elapsed time total (Julian time). |
| (acet-edittime-timeout [value]) | Sets the current timeout value if supplied (Julian time). Otherwise returns the current timeout value. |
