The Drawing Property dialog allows AutoCAD users to embed ancillary data (called summary information) in their DWG files, and assists in retrieving DWG files based on this data. This provides AutoCAD users with base-level file retrieval and management capabilities.
Through File Explorer, the properties of a drawing can be viewed outside of AutoCAD. Used in conjunction with the AutoCAD DesignCenter Advanced Find feature, summary information allows users to search for drawings containing predefined or custom data.
