Sometimes when troubleshooting an issue for a customer is it useful to know what version of Civil 3D the drawing was created in. For all you Windows XP users, this can be discovered in Windows Explorer by setting your file display type to Details, and right clicking on the grey bar and selecting More:
The dialog box displays a wealth of information to be displayed for your files, but in this case, we are only concerned with DWG Creator Name and DWG Creator Version. Check these boxes to display them and click OK to exit. You will now be able to see the information displayed in Windows Explorer. Please keep in mind that if you save an earlier drawing in a newer version, it will update both of these columns.
I thought this was pretty cool when I was shown this, and if you haven’t discovered it yet, I hope you do too!
