Has anyone ever done any integration with AutoCAD?

I'm looking into what would be required to generate AutoCAD files from FM or to create a parsable file from AutoCAD that can be tabulated in FM. I know almost nothing about AutoCAD but am aware that there is a command window where you can type commands and (I think) add objects via a text string. If so, I may be able to cut-and-paste text between a FM calculation and this AutoCAD window.

Alternately, if AutCAD creates challenges, a different CAD program may be an option.

Thanks for any guidance.

i would call myself nothing short of an expert of ACAD but i hope you plan on interacation with a user if you do this because you can type call the commands but you have to direct them with your mouse

What do you mean? Can I create a collection of records in FM that include xyz coordinates, layer, etc. then paste that into the command window? Likewise can I cut from the command window in AutoCAD and paste then parse in FM?

ACAD is a very point and click program it could probably be done but would be very difficult it would almost seem easier to me to have your users just learn ACAD
