About

Enhance Your User's Experience with the New DWG Infotip Shell Extension.
Show the DWG properties as an Infotip (tooltip) in Explorer or even from file dialog boxes within AutoCAD.

Use DWGPROPS in AutoCAD and add information in the Summary or Custom tabs and it will show up just hovering above a DWG file.
The Infotip will show the version of the DWG file, file size, date modified and most property information.
PROPULATE allows quick, automated population of the Drawing Properties dialog data fields.
