    Program custom applications

    hello, I was wondering if there are tools available currently to allow a programmer to go about editing the way AutoCad is used.

    What I want to achieve is the following.

     

    When a block is placed into a drawing, a function is run to access a database that stores information on how many said blocks appear in the drawing.

     

    this is just the beginning, but I was wondering if there application extensions that I can use to program the necessary code to achieve this.  I've heard of ObjectABX, however, i don't think this program has the ability to do what I want.

     

    Any input or direction on this matter would be greatly appriciated.

    Please use plain text.

    There are certainly a variety of tools to do what you want to achieve.  Object ARX will definately do it but it is complex and requires a knowledge of c++.  If you are a beginner then you should probably try out the .net programming languages.  You can get started from the link below.
