How to protect users from saving password protected DWG drawings
You can disable Security functions during custom installation of AutoCAD.
In an already installed AutoCAD-based application, you can disable passwords using a registry setting.
Use Regedit to open the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAutodeskAutoCADRxx.xACAD-xxxx:xxxApplicationsAcSecOpt
and set the AllowEncryption value to 0. You can change the value even when AutoCAD is running. You can force the change using Windows group policy.
