I just downloaded one of the examples from the Welcome Menu (city.afdesign) and I noticed that the document was locked (note: I am not talking about Layers). Since the document is Locked, I cannot Export it at all (example: .pdf, .png, etc...). How do I Lock and Unlock my creations so others cannot export them to different formats?

I'd have thought they could expose the locking mechanism to the UI without also exposing the unlocking mechanism, but I guess there must be a good reason why they haven't done this.

Maybe because once we locked a file we could not unlock it?

Well, yes, but all that would be needed is a warning to that effect, perhaps accompanied by 'Save' forcing a 'Save As...' so that you can't accidentally overwrite the unlocked original.

Well, if they exposed a locking mechanism they should do it with a key as well for unlocking. A p/w system akin to locking a zip file. One can open a zip to see its contents but cannot extract them.
