    Automated Drawing in 2012

    Is there a way to generate graphics from a database?  I would like to define equipment symbols and then define their relative locations in a database and also define lines connecting them in the database.  Then automatically generate a drawing from that data.

     

    If so, is there a description of such a process somewhere?

     

    Thanks,

    I dont think there is a way to do what you are asking for right now.  We are looking at potentitally adding some functionality to our API that will allow others to build such a utility.  Would you be interested in providing us some additional information in this area?  We would love to hear your thoughts.  Send me a note at pat dot j @autodesk.com.  Thanks.
