Has any body ever heard?

Has anybody ever heard of a lisp program or any other way of generating a cut list with CAD? I need to generate cut lists for cabinets drawn in 3-d for a cabinet company. I know there are programs out there that do it, but I want to stick with AutoCad.

The only way I can think of is to use attributes.

Assign attributes to each component and then use extract then into a list.

Try searching for a lisp routine called BOM.lsp (Bill Of Materials) or similar.
