• Company has existing database with CAFM information for office buildings
• Drawings are done in AutoCAD
• Each room in each building is identified via a unique block name
• The AutoCAD file shows the floor plan, but does not contain the area definitions. The area definitions are stored in company database, crossreferenced via the AutoCAD block name.
• Each room (area) can have zero, one or many pieces of information associated with it

The users drawings are typical floor plans, but do not define the "room" or "area" definitions in a manner that can be consistently obtained. Instead there is an external database that includes both the CAFM information such as what the purpose of the area is, what furnitures, people etc.that is in the area, plus the coordinates of an outline that encloses the area.

The user then uses AX2007 to add new Block Definitions to the existing drawing and create Object Node database linkages in the resulting DWF file. The new Block Definitions include a polyline(s) that define the area for the room. They can also define text, hyperlinks and hatching that is be added to the resulting DWF file.
