File locking via .dwl and .dwl2 files for locking AutoCAD files

[Steven Lawrance]

Hi Cyberduck,

I'm exploring solutions for locking AutoCAD files for edit when a team member has an AutoCAD drawing file open for edit. AutoCAD conveniently creates temporary files with the .dwl and .dwl2 file extensions with the same name (to the left of the extension) as the main .dwg file when the .dwg file is open for edit. It's similar to Microsoft Office's temporary files but is specific for AutoCAD.

Google Drive is being used, which unfortunately doesn't have native file locking support at this time. Can Cyberduck treat a .dwg file as locked if .dwl and/or .dwl2 files of the same name exist from another user?

Separately, are there plans to implement file versioning on Google Drive, which supports file versioning within its API, in Cyberduck?

Thanks,

Steven Lawrance
