How to disable "SAVE" Command anyway

Anonymous
Not applicable
If my friend come to use ArchiCAD in my Computer, I don't need him to save or save as my drawing file out by disable "SAVE" Command. What is the possible way to protect my drawing?

P.S.
* He has the right to view my drawing as the user level, I cant stop him to use my comp.
**My drawings are in the Intranet and my comp. is the one that can open.

hikaroute:

3 options:
1. Remove the hardware key, restart ArchiCAD in Demo mode, Save and Save As will be disabled.
2. Create a Work Environment that excludes Save and Save As.
3. Convert the file to TeamWork, allow access as a Viewer.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
