As the title states, any method to lock or password protect an .ac file from being opened? Meaning, once an object has been created, and "plugged into" another outside application for use, can it be protected from...er....unauthorized use or prying eyes?

The locking mechanism would have to not interfere with its use in that application but only come into "play" if or when the .ac file was reopened in AC3D. Make sense?

Hmmm....as I type this, I can start to see coding issues on the horizon from several directions!

This stems from discussions across a couple of groups that use AC3D in various projects. We are interested to find out if it can be done.
