Not exactly, but check:

For a list of applications that work with things like CAD and other computer drafting programs.

Good Luck!

Cool

If you're looking for something really simple to calculate floor area, I did one in flash for a client that you can use here:

After calculating the area it adds 5% slack to make up for wasted boards on the edges of the room.
