Activity Insights provides an understanding of the past actions that you or others have performed with regard to your drawings.
Activity Insights tracks activities whenever a drawing file is opened and being worked on. It can also track some events outside the program such as a drawing being renamed or copied in Finder. When a drawing is opened, past activities performed in the drawing are read from the Activity Insights database and displayed chronologically in the Activity Insights palette. Activities displayed are limited to the product you are using, for example AutoCAD LT only shows Version activities which are created from working with drawings stored on a supported cloud storage provider. At the same time, activities are being written to the database as you work in the drawing, which keeps the contents of the palette current.
Activities are written to the Activity Insights Location specified on the Application tab of the Application Preferences dialog box. The default location for the Activity Insights Location is /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/ActivityInsights/Common. Change this to a shared location so that all activities are logged in one location regardless of which drawings are worked on and who works on them.
You can also view a drawing's activities without having to opening the file. From the Start tab, click Recent, and select your drawing. Then, click the vertical ellipsis and select View Activity Insights in AutoCAD or View Drawing History in AutoCAD LT to see the drawing's activities in the palette.
With this information, meaningful insights can be surfaced about your workflows and practices.
Track the evolution of your drawings with drawing history using Activity Insights, a palette that displays activities and filters them by activity type, user, and date.
