What is the possibility of creating a tool that take two AutoCAD (DWG) files as an input and produce an output depends on the order. For example if i have the right of way (ROF) in a DWG file and the Land in another DWG file, would it be possible to send both files to a tool and order it to calculate the intersection area and produce a DWG file which shows where the intersection happens. Waiting for your kind help and advises. Thank you

Hi,

Please post example drawings with ROF, Land, and expected results, and any other information relevant to your problem. It's look doable. Just an idea: insert one drawing into the other (ROF into Land for example), and then calculate the intersection points between polylines.

As long as the procedure follows a logical process and has consistent data to draw from, then many things are possible. Bad data + good math = bad results. Good data + bad math = bad results. Good results = good data + good math.
