Question about the AutoCad API capabilities.
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

Hi, you can do all what you asked and even more.
You can eighter do so from external application (standalone exe) or from AddIn (internal dll library).
Most people are using VB.Net, but you can also find some examples for C# and some other languages.
You might want to look at this article:
Here is a blog from Autodesk guys about coding:
Consider using "Accept as Solution" / "Kudos" if you find this helpful.
