Joseph, I changed the thread topic and deleted your GIS post to avoid duplicate posts, leading to split conversations.

Concerning the plugin, it is still not clear to me if you have the C skills to work on it.
When the ESRI plugin has a similar functionality, it is best to start there. Copy the plugin folder, rename things and change code to the needs of different input and output.
If you have concrete questions about the plugin interface or implementation strategy, I'm glad to help.
But I'm afraid, that currently nobody else than you can start this journey.

Lua does not help here for LibreCAD 2 plugin. Also, LibreCAD2 and 3 are totally different from their concept and implementation that a direct port of the plugin will not be possible.
The LibreCAD 2 plugin will be useful for LibreCAD 3 anyway, but just in the sense that programmers without surveying skills can port it then.
