Sometimes drawings may contain confidential information and you want to control who has access to that information. If you need an added level of security, you can save a drawing with a password so only you and those who know the password can open the drawing.
To save a drawing with a password, you must save it in the DWG 2004, or later,drawing (.dwg) file format.
