    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, you can do all what you asked and even more.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can eighter do so from external application (standalone exe) or from AddIn (internal dll library).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Most people are using VB.Net, but you can also find some&amp;nbsp;examples for C# and some other languages.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You might want to look at this article:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A title="My First Plug-in Training" href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&amp;amp;id=17324828" target="_self"&gt;My First Plug-in Training&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is a blog from Autodesk guys about coding:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A title="Mod The Machine" href="http://modthemachine.typepad.com/my_weblog/c/" target="_self"&gt;Mod The Machine&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi to the community. I have some experience with Solidworks but am considering switching to AutoDesk. My application would be for simple construction drawings. In exploring AutoDesk capabilities I came across the API and was reading about the software interfaces. Here is what I am confused about: just what are the capabilities of the API? In other words, can I use software (I program in c# asp.net, or c++) to interface to AutoDesk and automate drawing objects? If I wanted to make a very simple construction drawing (lets say that it just consists of rectangles and squares), can I automate that drawing and have it include dimensions? Thank You Tom</description>
