How to acquire data from CAD drawing entities

Here's a new technical support issue that I wanted to share

request
How can I acquire entity data from a CAD drawing?

Answer
To acquire data (length, area, perimeter, height, side, radius, diameter) of CAD drawing entities, it is necessary to use the PriMus for CAD function.
The function PriMus for CAD allows you to indicate the data acquired by CAD drawing entities in the measurement rows of the selected work item. The data reported in the BoQ with the PriMus for CAD function are not directly linked to the drawing, therefore, in order to update the BoQ with each variation of the drawing, it is necessary to reacquire the data from the respective drawing entities.
