when saving dwgs to earlier versions...
« on: March 05, 2012, 11:00:23 AM »
is there a way to check to see what version a dwg was last saved as?

for instance, if i save a dwg down to 2004, and open it in 2009 is there a way to tell tell that it was saved down to 2004

Read part of the first line of the file and check the version code, e.g.

An alternative would be to install DwgIcon. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated beyond 2007 version files, but for the rest it changes the icon displayed in any explorer window (including the open dialog) to show which version DWG it is.
