Can Forge API achieve the thing below?

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 16:56:28 GMT

Hi,

I am new to autocad. I am a software engineer and researching how to integrate autocad with our application. I would like to check with the AutoCAD expert here whether can forge API / any API achieve the objectives below.

The scenario is described as below:

We have an application which can configure price quote.

For example, a user can use our application to add line item (Eg: cabinet) and each cabinet can configure to add different types of rack. The number of rack can fit in will be based on size of the rack.

The application can display the cabinet & rack in 2D view based on what have been configured. We are just thinking the cabinet and rack are like a component which can configure and plug together.

The dwg file can be provided by other party to us, but can we use forge API to edit/combine/produce a new dwg (assuming dwg as a component) with all the items selected? The new dwg file will be used as an input for manufacturing purpose.

What is the term to describe the activity to edit/combine/produce a new dwg with all the items selected? Please advise so that I can find a more relevant topic.

I do not know which topic to post my question but any advise given will be appreciated.

Thanks
