How create ad interface between Autocad and a documental / management sw?

[giuseppina.broggiBEW22]

Hi,

I'm following a development project where one of the feature is an interface between the main (documental and managerial Sw web based) to AutoCad.

The feature have to allow:

1. to open a dwg file, storaged on a local server, using ID that allow to identify the file called;
2. to update the design adding new objects (area, lines or points) choosing the layer from a pre-defined list of layer or deleting existing objects;
3. to send the list of layers and their properties to the sw which provide to record them in a SQL Server and process them too;
4. to "save as ..." the file, it must be sotaged in the same folder of the older one.

Could I use API? If yes, which one?

Is it AutoCAD360 the right AutoDesk app to use?

Or where could I found the usefull information to resolve this problem?

The attachment is a screen shot of the esxisting feature (developed in VisualBasic and use AutoCad2012):

• AutoCadInt0: screen of the sw from where the user can call AutoCad and open the dwg file into the interface
• AutoCadInt1: screen of the opened dwg, detail on the layer user (rig-l) that is into the list of available options (red highlighted section)

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
