Computer Aided Design primarily is the process of using Computer in the process of Design. This is accomplished through an iterative, knowledge-based, decision-making process. This paper discusses the processes of developing of add-in that stores modifies and interpret the drawing data along with various parameters. The material properties and key values obtained automatically from the drawing are used in order to calculate the various parameters that would help in manufacturing and large scale production. Visual Basic Based application was developed to store the data and generate useful reports that would aid the management in making key decisions. The add in developed further aided in reducing considerable manpower and also reduced the errors made due to the manual intervention in the process.
