Patrick,
Why would anyone want to go to the time & expense of doing all that ?? No offense mate, but I would just get a good cad based software like CAMIO or PC-DMIS. None (that I am aware of) of the big 3 use mitutoyo because of its weakness to support cad very well. Don`t get me wrong, I used GEOpak for a couple years & it was easy to use, for simple checks. When it comes to complicated cad use, Autocad ???? C`mon , its the least powerful in the cad 3-d world.
