    Hi,

    I have never used AutoCAD and will be employing an AutoCAD designer to
    work on my project. He will be creating the drawings. My project is a
    desktop-based application that will accept the specifications such as
    height, width etc of various components and pass it to AutoCAD such
    that AutoCAD replaces the specs from the pre-designed drawing and
    generates a new drawing with the provided values.

    Is it possible to export a drawing to a file to which parameters can
    be passed externally from a Windows application or from an external
    text/xml file?

    Thanks,
    Yash

    You can create a DXF file (plain text) from an AutoCAD DWG file.
