DOCUMENT PROTECTION IN T-FLEX CAD Document Protection in T-FLEX CAD This command serves for setting limitations on working with T-FLEX CAD documents. The developer of a document or a set of documents (library) can set a protection on those by using this command, and modify parameters of this protection in the future as necessary. Working with protected documents requires the user to possess HASP protection key (the “plug”). The command has the capability of setting multiple protections on one document. Each protection requires selection of one of the protection types. The developer of the document can set different access rights to this document for different users. For this purpose, each protection has a set of access types (for editing, for opening, etc.). A protected document can have an unlimited number of protections, any of which can have its own set of access types, which allows using this document by different users with different access rights. For example, one protection would provide only the capability of opening and viewing the document, being set for all users, while another protection would provide the capability of full access, being set only for a particular HASP protection key ID. All information about the document protection is stored within the document. Protection Parameters Protection Types The following types of document protection can be set: • Not using HASP Plug. This type of protection is set for any user. This type of protection allows, for example, setting the access only for “Preview” and “Edit variables”. Then, any user working with this will be able to open it view-only, without being capable of other actions, such as editing or copying the information. This is convenient if a developer intends to pass the document to the user solely for getting acquainted with the contents. In this case, the user is not required to possess HASP protection key, since previewing a document can be performed by the T-FLEX Viewer application that does not require a HASP protection key. • Specific T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs. This type of protection is used in the cases when the developer knows in advance the IDs of protection keys for T-FLEX CAD users who will be working with the protected documents. Enter the IDs of the T-FLEX CAD protection keys in the document protection parameters. The access to the protected document will be granted on any computer with this particular T-FLEX CAD protection key installed. If using the network key, then the access can be gained on any computer on the network. • Password with T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug. This type of protection is convenient if the developer does not know in advance the IDs of T-FLEX CAD protection keys of the users who will be working with the protected document. This type of protection is generally used when distributing a document or library (a set of documents). By setting this type of protection on the document once, you do not have to change the document protection for each new user. After that, the user shall send his (her) T- FLEX CAD protection key ID to the developer of the document. The developer uses the currently described command to generate a password based on the protection key ID, and passes it to the user. 717
Fundamentals. Two-Dimensional Design Access Types 718 When accessing a protected document, the user must enter this password for gaining the access to the document. • Another specific HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs. A document protection can be set not only by T-FLEX CAD HASP protection key, but also by any other HASP protection key. This type of protection is similar to the type “Specific T-FLEX CAD HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs”; however, in this case the developer needs to specify, among the parameters, a special password for the protection key in use, which shall be obtained from the manufacturer of this protection key. • Password with another HASP Plug. This protection type is similar to the type “Password with T- FLEX CAD HASP Plug”, except that it can be set on any HASP protection key, provided that the specific password is known for accessing this protection key, as supplied by the key manufacturer. For each protection, its specific document access types can be set. The command supports the following Access types: • Change access. This access type is set for the user who will be allowed to modify or delete protection types and access types of this protected document. Normally, this access type is set by the document developer for himself. • Edit. The user with this access type can open, edit and save a given document. Editing access means full access except the ability to “Change access”. • Preview. This access type implies permission for opening, previewing and printing a protected document. When opening such document in T-FLEX CAD, all commands that can modify it are blocked. • View as fragment. A document permitted to this access type can be opened from an assembly document if it is used in this assembly as a fragment, a picture or an OLE object. • Edit variables. This access type permits editing document variables and regenerating the document with the set values. When setting this access type, additionally, the “Preview” and “View as fragment” access is granted automatically. • Insert as Fragment. The document with this type of access granted can be inserted as a fragment, the chair or an OLE object into another document. If a document is assigned this access type, then the “View as fragment” access is assigned automatically as well.

Access Types<br />
718<br />
When accessing a protected document, the user must enter this password for gaining the access to the<br />
document.<br />
• Another specific HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs. A document protection can be set not only by<br />
T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong> HASP protection key, but also by any other HASP protection key. This type of<br />
protection is similar to the type “Specific T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong> HASP Plug or list of HASP Plugs”; however,<br />
in this case the developer needs to specify, among the parameters, a special password for the<br />
protection key in use, which shall be obtained from the manufacturer of this protection key.<br />
• Password with another HASP Plug. This protection type is similar to the type “Password with T-<br />
<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong> HASP Plug”, except that it can be set on any HASP protection key, provided that the<br />
specific password is known for accessing this protection key, as supplied by the key manufacturer.<br />
For each protection, its specific document access types can be set. The command supports the following<br />
Access types:<br />
• Change access. This access type is set for the user who will be allowed to modify or delete protection<br />
types and access types of this protected document. Normally, this access type is set by the document<br />
developer for himself.<br />
• Edit. The user with this access type can open, edit and save a given document. Editing access means<br />
full access except the ability to “Change access”.<br />
• Preview. This access type implies permission for opening, previewing and printing a protected<br />
document. When opening such document in T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong>, all commands that can modify it are<br />
blocked.<br />
• View as fragment. A document permitted to this access type can be opened from an assembly<br />
document if it is used in this assembly as a fragment, a picture or an OLE object.<br />
• Edit variables. This access type permits editing document variables and regenerating the document<br />
with the set values. When setting this access type, additionally, the “Preview” and “View as fragment”<br />
access is granted automatically.<br />
• Insert as Fragment. The document with this type of access granted can be inserted as a fragment, the<br />
chair or an OLE object into another document. If a document is assigned this access type, then the<br />
“View as fragment” access is assigned automatically as well.<br />
