  1. What CAD Import VCL version do you use?
  2. What exactly "cad editor" do you use?

As far as we understand you do the following:
  1. create a drawing by AutoCAD;
  2. add some point to the drawing;
  3. associate this point with some text;
  4. save the drawing to a file;
  5. open the file by CAD Import VCL;
  6. search a point by associated with it text.
What exactly you need to know? Is it possible:
  1. to associate some text with some point by AutoCAD?
  2. or
  3. to find a point by associated with it text?
  4. or both?

My program will be like :
Users draw their projects by AutoCad.
After they open that files by my software.
I need to find some points for operations.
So I think that, if it is possible , user will give name points and I will get them programmatically.
( I dont know autoCad well, I am just Delphi programmer.)
If you would say It is good idea, I want some examples.
Or If you have an onether idea for finding points, I will regard.

You have sent us CGM files. This is not AutoCAD file format. So we suppose it is impossible to make changes to CGM files with AutoCAD.
Accordingly to AutoCAD files and names on points. It is possible to find anyone object in a drawing if it exists by CAD Import VCL. Please send us (to support@cadsofttools.com) AutoCAD file example to study it and to prepare detailed answer.

I think that It would be AutoCad file but not.
I will use cgm file for this operations which they send me.
You can look these files.
And Cad Import supports cgm files, am I right?
