Find distance using APIs

[Anonymous]

How to find the distance between two points using visual studio c# APIs. 

Without installing AUTOCAD is there any possibility to find the distance of two endpoints using APIs.

My requirement is, I have a DWG file, read the points, and find the distance using APIs. without installing AutoCAD I have to achieve this using APIs

Please guide me on how to do this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

C# is .NET and .NET forum is over here:

Without Autocad you don't have access to the content of DWT/DWG files, so you need

a library to read&write data from/to the files.

Autodesk offers REALdwg 

and without the blessing of Autodesk

there is a very good try to copy the realdwg.

Thank you. Can we read/write data using libraries? If yes, what are the libraries and how can we use that to read dwg file. If you have any sample please give me.

I need a step by step implementation of this, please help me to resolve this.

Is there any option to calculate distance from dwg file or JSON file in CLOUD?

I think

linking to the right forum(.Net)

and posting a sample library (the most popular i guess, teigha from oda)

should be enough in this AutoCAD Forum for user questions.

(it isn't a programmer board, please follow my link above and start a new post there, AFTER you searched about your questions, thx.)
