In previous version of CorelDraw (x5 and before) you could open the CDR file in notepad and look for CDR?vrsn to find out which CorelDraw version created the file.
example:
CDR9vrsn = CorelDraw 9
CDRAvrsn = CorelDraw 10
CDRBvrsn = CorelDraw 11
CDRCvrsn = CorelDraw x2 (12)
CDRDvrsn = CorelDraw x3 (13)
CDREvrsn = CorelDraw x4 (14)
CDRFvrsn = CorelDraw x5 (15)
But now in CorelDraw x6 (16) and CorelDraw x7 (17) the CDR?vrsn no longer exists in the CDR file. How do you tell what version a CDR file was created in (without the CorelDraw app) for x6 and x7 versions?
