App to scan dwg files for specific geometry presence
App to scan dwg files for specific geometry presence
(OP)
Does anybody know of an application that can scan dwg files for the presence of a particular shape? Like what OCR does for text but in this case it is lines and curves that form a particular shape or symbol.

How would user provide shape paramaters to search for, by selecting them on the screen, then the program would look for similar geometry?

I know we had to make our legend "just so" to allow the program to grab the symbols and go through the drawings picking the right stuff.
That was 10 years ago. There seem to be a lot of choices now.
Here are two examples:

If you put the following phrase in Google, you'll find lots more.
