I have Autocad files .DXF or .DWG, I export them as XML files from Autocad.
The files for example are for a house plan, with garden and pool…
I need to be able to upload the xml file on a web application, then read each object, like the pool only, how can I detect where are the points of the pool in the xml file, using Javascript.

Was the question clear or you need more details?

    -1. Which version of ACAD are you using? CIVIL?

    This is the format for CIVIL I believe.
    But I could be wrong I only have Autocad 2011 standard.

    see: http://www.landxml.org/

    More Info on ACAD XML

    -2. Basically once you understand the ACAD XML format it’s just a matter of searching
    through the XML file (text file)

    see: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2719

    -3. Then just use Javascript to parse it into a HTML page.
    Website HTML file right? 

         <head>    
    <script type="text/javascript" src="loadxmldoc.js"></script>    
    </head>    
    <body>    

    <script type="text/javascript">    

    xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");    

    x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0]    
    y=x.childNodes[0];    
    document.write(y.nodeValue);    

    </script>    
    </body>    
    </html>

    Please give more details on your start format & end format. 🙂
