Drawing Format Variable?

[Anonymous]

Is there a "getvar" argument I can use to return the version of AutoCAD that
the drawing in question is saved in?

[Anonymous]

acadver == AutoCAD Version

That returns the version of AutoCAD currently in use, not the version that
(previously) saved an open file.

Acad r2004

I believe this is stored in the Registry.

Try this.

(getenv "DefaultFormatForSave")

Conversely, (setenv "DefaultFormatForSave" "12") or other Int STRING should
work.

You need to play with it.

There is no variable to tell what version someone else has saved it in.
The only variable is which version you have just saved it in.

You need an AutoLISP routine to read the first 5 characters in the file
and compare this to a known list of versions.

the first 5? or 6? "AC1003"

I recalled seeing this format upon Paul correcting me... thanks, Paul.
