Hello
I want to develope a solution for an electrical consultation company
which requires to give an input of multilayered AutoCAD r14 file (.dwg).
The electrical drawing is placed at one or more layer. there are some
curves representing the conductors(power lines or data cables) and
condude (concealed and of different diameters). A specification is
written with a curved line (representing conductor and condued) to
define the no. of conductor and condude in it.
The company wants to determine the length of all conductors and condudes
(to estimate the cost)
I need to
1. read the Autocad file to my application
2. extract the electrical layer(s)
3. determine the curved line objects identify them (as conductor and
condued)
4. Determine the length of curved layer
5. determine the no. of conductors and condueds by the given
specification.
6. find total cost
How do I proceed?
How read the .dwg file?
How to determine the length of curves?
How to get the text of specification from .dwg files
What can be other problamatic issues?
Can any one help me out?
waiting for some serious help
