Autocad drawing automation

[Anonymous]

Hello colleagues, I’m neither a specialist in Autocad nor Revit, we are an IT company engaged in the development of web services and we have a customer with a project that requires the automatic generation of (pre-created) drawings of cottage projects, integrated with our online store, where the user on the site changes the parameters (for example, the length or width of the building) and when these parameters are saved (within certain limits) they also change in the AutoCAD or revision project. At the moment, we have implemented a methodology for the automation of cost estimates and ahead of the implementation of the main feature of the project - the automatic generation of drawings during the interactive user interaction with the site. We understand that this is a huge project and now we need to form a stack of technologies and the principle of their interaction. Please tell me how to organize this interaction and correctly create and program the relevant projects. Thank you in advance for your help.

1st up expect to pay for solutions.

Depending on "cottage" there may be ways of changing a dwg and replotting to pdf.

Your request is not new others have asked before about submitting a script to run Autocad do changes then send back the result. If you google running Autocad from internet maybe you may find some suggestions. Will try to find request at other forums.

From the Autocad point of view there is "Aeccoreconsole" which runs Autocad without any user input making changes, which is what you want. You must have though an installed Autocad. There may be a similar answer for Revit

Could not find what I was looking for but "Forge" may be usefull. There are solutions out there unfortunately a question is asked but no real examples supplied due to the high level of programming skill.

if your storage allows it, why not have all the drawings at the ready,  There are allowable values the client can input or limits as you call it. What do you mean by revision project?

Maybe what you are needing for now is a program to generate all the drawings NOW for it to be available for the customer on the fly on the website.

-Have and not need than need and not have -
