Hello to all!
I am building a project that needs to calculate the cost of a product (with a product I mean a door a window, etc.,) for a company that makes doors, windows, etc., (Actually the company where I work is making this software).
A product is compound of the aluminium profiles, the glass and different accessories (like screws and others). Every product must have a default structure that can be changed. I mean every product, according to its dimensions (width, height) has a certain amount of profiles and accessories.
Now the company that ordered the software has asked our company to make this software also with a design like Autocad where they can change the dimensions of the product and remove or add new accessories.
Now I am thinking to not implement this functionality in our software (I think it would be really very difficult and would take us a lot of time, not worth of the money the boss took from the other company), but to let them work with the product in AutoCad and then we read the data in our application made in C# (Visual Studio .Net) from the project in Autocad, i.e. find out the dimensions of the product the kind of profiles used and the accessories used for it.
Sorry for this very long question but I thought it would be better to explain what we are really trying to do.
I would appreciate very much any answer or solution for this problem.
Cheers!
