As an example of programmatic object creation and value extraction,  
I've posted the latest source code to our DrawKit-based CAD software  
for our robotic systems: http://www.sonoplot.com/SonoDraw/SonoDraw_2_1_source.zip 
  .  We do custom object creation and saving in our XML file loading  
and saving methods.

In order to get that project to compile, you'll need a patched version  
of the DrawKit Beta 4 release that we have here: http://www.sonoplot.com/SonoDraw/DrawKit_11072008.zip 
  .  You'll also need the current version of the Sparkle updater  
framework: http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ .  SonoDraw, DrawKit, and  
Sparkle all need to be based out of the same root directory.

We're still working on the section of our website that will host the  
SonoDraw project and documentation.
