DWGStats: drawing-time tracking for AutoCAD & Civil 3D

June 23, 2026

DWGStats is a native ObjectARX plugin for AutoCAD and Civil 3D that records how much active time is spent in each drawing and exports the results to Excel, per drawing and per project.

The original concept is based on work by Alexander Rivilis.
