Identifying DWG version last saved

[girishpongalil]

Is there any variable to pickup the version of a drg. last saved? I need to export this info to lisp. I can read it only when drawing opens....

Thanks,
Giri

Hi Giri

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD General forum to this one as I believe it would be better served here.

Thanks, Mike

try ACADVER, it displays the verisign number
it doesn't give the year, but you can develop a coding system to convert it to the year
ex. Version 2005 should show up as 16.1.

(Read-only)
Type: String
Not saved

Stores the AutoCAD version number. This variable differs from the DXF file $ACADVER header variable, which contains the drawing database level number.

Hi

Check out the following Technical Documents on the Autodesk web site under the Knowledge Base section -

ID: TS66820 - Determine the version a drawing is using Visual LISP/AutoLISP

ID: TS44822 - Determining the version of a DWG or DXF file

Have a good one, Mike
