In autocad is there any option to find out in what version a drg was finally saved (ie. 2000 / 2004 / 2008 etc).

This question was asked within the last week. If you do a search you should find that thread. Unfortunately, I can't remember the answer.

Thanks Cad64, and CarlB for doing the research.

I just wrote a FAQ for it:



How do I find out which version a drawing was saved in?

Open the AutoCad drawing file using Wordpad or other suitable text editor. The beginning of the file has the version info:

4024

The codes used are as follows:


AC1021: AutoCAD 2007/2008
AC1018: AutoCAD 2004/2005/2006
AC1015: AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002
AC1013: AutoCAD Release 14 sample drawings
AC1014: AutoCAD Release 14
AC1012: AutoCAD Release 13
Further information can be obtained from: [B]CADzette CAD News (http://www.mossdesigns.com/cadzette-v1i25.htm#article8)

Warning: Do not modify the file in the text editor or the drawing file may be corrupted!
