Solution 1

You'll need to use Reflection[^] for that.

For more info:

Using Reflection to load unreferenced assemblies at runtime in C#[^]

Solution 2

Hide the actual CAD objects behind some interface(s). Your application has to hold a factory for creating the appropriate objects. The factory is told which one to use (e.g. by configuration, or an Inversion of Control container) or can somehow find out by itself (e.g. searching the registry for the installed CAD application).
