Version without opening?

Version without opening?

Version without opening?

(OP)
Is there any way to tell what version of AutoCAD a drawing was saved in without opening the file? I have a directory that has been opened by numerous people with numerous versions, but I need to know what drawings were saved as 2000 and which need to be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Version without opening?

I used to have both R14 and 2002 on the same machine.  As I recall, when viewed in Explorer, the icon would be the old orange, dotted/hatched symbol if it was R14.  The icon would automatically change to the new blue, cross-hairs when it was resaved in 2002.  Maybe I'm mistaken, though...try that.
