    Hi,

    I was wondering how autocad stores drawing data. In other words,
    suppose I have a dwg or dxf file. Could I get a list of points with the
    relationship between them (curve, line etc.) or the script which can
    generate the drawing.

    thanks,

    Ab

    Drawings are databases with intelligible and
    manipulable structure. You will need to do some reading....
