Project: Accounting Manager
Customer: Architectural Firm with Both MicroStation and AutoCAD
Problem: Needed to determine how much time was spent in both MicroStation and AutoCAD drawings.
Solution: Developed Accounting Manager software to create log files tracking how much time was spent in drawings.

Highlights:

  • Common network output log file for all users
  • Does not report time spent in a file after a user-specified idle time
  • Log file database import-ready for analysis
  • No user interface or training required
  • Accounting Manager (am.ma) automatically run at startup (MS_DGNAPPS)
