Hi,

Is there any possibility to know the version of AutoCAD dwg file in which it is saved-in...

Prtap

You can if you apply the method described here:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-find-which-version-of-AutoCAD-was-used-to-create-save-a-DWG.html

by reading it as a text file and mapping the version values into the correct dwg version.

Just make sure you use the schema attributes in the text reader to have the original dwg name.

Hoe this helps.


Thanks alot... Nice trick

Glad I could help.
When you add the dwg-file as a reader, the version is stated in the log:

 

AutoCAD Reader: Successfully opened the 'Release2010' AutoCAD file 

 


A less known but very useful parameter when reading DWG files is "Read Drawing System Variables":

Then you get an null feature called autocad_info which holds many useful attributes, like DWG version.

See documentation here (only available from FME 2018): http://docs.safe.com/fme/2018.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/acad/Drawing-System-Variables.htm
