Hi,

Just single click on your drawing putting the cursor over the DWG file within Windows Explorer should display a tooltip, which shows a "Created With:" value.  There you should see the Autocad version of the dwg file

.

You CAN just hover over the file of AutoCAD you will get to see the version of your AutoCAD

For me that does not work, some dwg-files do not show an AutoCAD version, some dwg-files show an incorrect value. E.g. one file shows AutoCAD 2011 in the tooltip, wheras the header shows AC1032.

You can use a simple ASCII-Editor like >>>NotePad++<<< and find the first 6 characters in the file (don't save the file using that tool, just open to view it). There you see values like AC1032 which is the format "DWG-2018"

Here you'll find the complete list of header-content to DWG-filetype version: >>>click<<<

We have a freeware version of our DWG Columns that shows what version the drawing has.

I have never seen a dwg with such inconsistent/contradictory informations.  Where are the obviously wrong informations in the explorer coming from?
Can you post such an dwg example, please?
