Hi All, 

I'm using Illustrator 10 to convert AutoCAD site and building plans into svg. Its important to be able to name each building or room in the svg to enable interaction between svg and an oracle database. I know you can name objects manually in illustrator, but I have a massive amount of drawings to convert and would like to automate the conversion. Ideally the naming and custom attributes for each building or room should come from the AutoCAD drawing, but illustrator seems to ignore this. Does anyone have some ideas how I can get naming and custom attributes from the autocad drawing? 

Cheers,  

Matt
