AutoCAD Interface — Finding the Version Can the version of AutoCAD in use be checked by reading the title bar (the top blue/colored bar in classic Windows themes) above the menu or ribbon area, noting that it typically displays the product name and release?

Introduction / Context:
Knowing the exact AutoCAD version helps when sharing files, diagnosing issues, or following tutorials. Multiple ways exist to identify the version, and the title bar is one straightforward visual cue in many configurations, especially with classic toolbars or standard Windows chrome enabled.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The user interface includes a visible application title bar.
• AutoCAD typically shows the product name, release year, and current drawing file name in that bar.
• Other methods (ABOUT dialog, command line variable values) also exist for verification.

Concept / Approach:
The title bar often reads something like “AutoCAD 2025 – Drawing1.dwg.” While themes can vary, and some custom UIs minimize the classic bar, this remains a valid and quick check in many setups. For formal confirmation, users can run the ABOUT command, but the question asks whether reading the title bar is a legitimate way, which it is.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Look at the topmost application frame (title bar).2) Identify the product name and year beside the DWG name.3) If not visible, switch to a standard workspace or use the ABOUT command for exact build info.4) Record the version for compatibility and support needs.

Verification / Alternative check:
Use the ABOUT command to display license information, build number, and full version text. Both the title bar and the ABOUT dialog will align on the major release number.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Incorrect” ignores common UI behavior. “Only via the ABOUT command” and “Only by file DWG properties” are unnecessarily restrictive. “Partially correct” is vague; reading the title bar is a correct and widely used approach.

Common Pitfalls:
Custom themes that hide the bar; assuming the DWG file version equals the AutoCAD release without checking; overlooking service pack/build differences that ABOUT shows.

Final Answer:
Correct
