Display dot or Symbol dynamically on Existing CAD Drawing(Salesforce.com API)

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I need your help.

I have one requirement describing below:

First part of the requirement is that-

I have floor map details in CAD format. I want to show assets potions as a dot or Symbol dynamically on Existing CAD Drawing of the building based on given position or co-ordinate information. The dot or symbol should also be color coded like red,blue,green.

Second part-

When user mouse hover on dot or Symbol one pop up will open with respected asset details.

I want to build this requirement making API calls from salesforce.com.

Let me know if you need any further details or clarification.

I have provided CAD drawing of the floor with assets symbols below:

Suggested Workflow would be
> Create a block with the appropriate symbol and colour etc.
> Then assign an attribute defention to the block (ATTDEF) within block editor
> Fill Out the required fields (TAG,Value etc)
> Leave block editor with saving the changes
> BATTMAN to enter the attribute manager,select the new block and click sync
> Click on the new block whilst enesuring the properties panel is open you will now have the option to enter the required data and for the user to see the appropriate data.

If required modifications can be made to the quick properties dialogue to show the attribute definitions via the CUI

There are lots of useful tutorials online including YouTube.

A useful article from Autodesk on Attributes can be found here.

Thank you for the response!

Is it possible to assign an attribute defention to the block (ATTDEF)  and Fill Out the required fields value by API call from salesforce to Autodesk?
