A request from an AutoCAD instructor at a local community college. He has a concern about students who might copy AutoCAD drawings from other students, and then hand them in as complete assignments. Has anyone else had to deal with this concern? What strategies would be helpful? His idea was to have each student begin an assignment on a template which has the student's initials on it. He would need a method of attaching the initials, such that they could not be erased or changed. Possibly an AutoCAD R12 "XREF" command could do this? We'd appreciate any suggestions.
