I am trying to write some source code that can work with .dwg files. I want to be able to show the files in my own window and be able to zoom in and zoom out of the files. I will eventually want to do this with other drafting files as well. What is the best language to use to do this? Which language has the most code already written to manipulate files?

I would think C++ since you can use Autodesk's SDK to manipulate the drawing files. With what you are wanting to do, I would guess this would be your best bet.
