in windows explorer, right click on the .dwg file and click on properties.  It should tell you when it was created, last modified, size, location etc.

How do all of these varibles work if the drawing was started as a copy of a different drawing that was started 5 years ago?

If you use the older drawing as a template, they should all reset to 0.  If you did a SAVEAS, it carries all the previous dates and times.
