Chronos for AutoCAD - Automatic Time Logging for AutoCAD, Job Log, History Log, Task Log

Chronos is a time logging software solution for engineering organizations that use AutoCAD. Chronos allows managers to easily document the time spent by engineering personnel in the production of models and drawings. Each user that accesses AutoCAD is logged into the system. Elapsed and edit times, along with various drawing attributes are recorded, providing benchmarks for evaluation.
