To the best of knowledge you have two options:

1.  Autodesk's RealDWG (annual licence fee) - This is what I have used to generate finished DWG document sets from a standalone .NET application. It is used by Revit to export DWG I believe. RealDWG has no View or Print capability so I used the Autodesk TrueView dll to do that.

2.  Open Design Alliance (https://www.opendesign.com/products/teigha-drawings) - Used to provide DWG export compatibility by lots of non-Autodesk applications (Turbo CAD, etc.)

Regards,

There is also the 'old' way, write a DXF file. It's a text file relatively simple to write that can be open directly from AutoCAD...

Its format is well documented and free!!

Hi,

We need more information about the graphic format, if, for example you are using SVG, there is a tool (not free: Toolpac) to import SVG into AutoCAD, if they are raster graphics like HTML 5 Canvas graphics , there is no much you can do other than import the picture, or use a raster to vector software. Another approach would be to create a DXF file  using the same input used to create the image in the web page. Also a script  (a pure script or Autolisp) may be created from the input. In any case you need a good understanding of AutoCAD.
