mdbdesign Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Just out of curiosity: Can I check if Autocad drawing file from outside source was made on cracked version of Autocad? Is there any Autocad message when open it? Is drawings from it, can make any damage to my system, similar to "Educational version" stamp?
edwinprakoso Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 AFAIK, there is no way to check if the drawing was made using illegal version of AutoCAD.
ReMark Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Why would you expect drawings made with an illegal version of AutoCAD could possibly damage your system? Do you also suspect these drawings contain a macro virus? The educational banner does not damage a drawing it only serves to notify people that an educational product was used to create the content. The banner is harmless in and of itself.
nestly Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 You'd be relying on the "integrity" of the hacker... see where this is going?
ReMark Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 You used the word integrity and hacker in the same sentence. Isn't that considered an oxymoron?
mdbdesign Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 I am just follow rumor I heard in one of drafting company stating that newest version of AutoCAD dwg file (nobody said from what version) can carry computer information and version and serial #. It sound ridiculous, but like all rumors (hope NOT) got an a grain of true. Unless it is "explanation" to draftsman's to stay with current (2000) version and cap upgrade request?!?!
nestly Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Yes. My intent was to see off a light bulb. Basically. "What would you do if you received a file from a known hacker"? Open it, or not open it?

Open it, or not open it? Never open file from unknown source or person-this is my rule. But many times download blocks, templates and other cad flies just to work without even thinking it can coming form illegal version. Don't have yet any friend hacker.
ReMark Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 "...can carry computer information and version and serial #" That's one rumor I have not heard. Can't believe everything you hear.

Tharwat Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I think ReMark have given full and clear description of the theme in post No# 3 and nothing more than that to say in this regard .
