I am expoloring currently an AutoCAD .NET API to create a dwg files from winform. Is this possible or should I look for another library? Are there any new tutorials of doing so? thanks

Thanks for all your answers .... I will stick with my old DXF implementation, since this is personal project.

Here you have exacly how to do it. AutoCad includes an API for doing that. The problem is that you need to have AutoCad in the computer where your application remains.
