LISP access
EDITTIME-related data is stored per drawing, in the Named Object Dictionary. The:(acet-getvar ...)and
(acet-setvar ...)functions (available in the acetutil.fas module) provide access to the BNS_EDITTIME_TOTAL "profile variable". If EDITTIME has been enabled on a drawing, you can use:
(acet-getvar '("BNS_EDITTIME_TOTAL"))
