Same DWG file on Sharepoint Online can be opened multiple times with no read-only alert in AutoCAD

Microsoft, please can you add a lock to an open DWG file or mark as read only.

    James_M65 Check Zee Drive; https://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/#AutoCADSupport. Map a network drive to your SharePoint Online document library with Zee Drive - drawings opened from AutoCAD from the network drive will be locked, other users attempting to open the file via Zee Drive will then see a locked message from AutoCAD and will open read only.
