Hi,

You can write a custom command with C# which "read something" in the AutoCAD file.

Then you can NETLOAD it and run it in the file with the acccore console.

EDIT: the custom command have to be built only referencing AcDbMgd.dll and AcCore.dll (AcMgd.dll library is not supported by acccore console).

what is a accore  console ?

Unless you want to spend years reverse-engineering the AutoCAD DWG file format, the only other way to do it is using RealDWG or a third-party DWG file access Library.

RealDWG is the component of AutoCAD that is responsible for reading and writing DWG files, which you can license from Autodesk and use from Within your own application
