This 3-page document discusses customization options for three CAD platforms: Autodesk, SolidWorks, and CSoft. For Autodesk, customization can be done through AutoLISP, Visual LISP, DCL, and .NET interfaces using languages like AutoLISP, Visual Basic, and C++. SolidWorks supports customization via APIs for various features and tools using Visual Basic, C#, and C++. CSoft allows customization through LISP, JavaScript, and VB Script applications and tools using those languages.
