Finding a handle-ID in a CAD drawing
Typically, a CAD drawing contains a multitude of entities, each of these is uniquely identified by its handle-ID.
Whenever there is an issue with a CAD drawing, the CAD import verification will report this in its log file and will mention the entity's handle-ID as a way of identifying the entity that requires attention.
So, you can use the handle-ID to find the corresponding entity.
