.dwg metadata not searched

Post by bogordo »

Hi,

Im testing searching for fields like "Keywords" (indexing "Tags" in Everything), "Author", "Subject"...these are working fine for pdf, searching exactly what i am asking for.

For .dwg files (AutoCAD) does not work at all, even i have indexing for *.pdf, *.doc, *.dwg...

Any clues??

Check for AutoCAD properties:
  • In Everything, Search for *.dwg and Select a dwg file.
  • Right click the result list column header and click Add Columns...
  • Click the Windows Property System tab on the left.
  • Right click the property list column header and click Preview.
  • Sort results by Preview.
  • Examine properties for the desired tags.

Thank you!! looked into it and none of the available properties are defined by the .dwg app (ZWCad)...
