Import coordinates, create floorplan / building perimeter, edit and export coordinates?

Hey all -
I've searched the forums a bit and pretty sure the answer to my question is "yes".
But want to double check. Can I use onshape to do the following:
1. Import an array of coordinates. e.g.
2. Generate a top-level floorplan / perimeter from the data. Where each coordinate is a corner.
3. Edit the plan as needed
4. Export the new coordinates back out. And most importantly, maintain the exact original coordinates (of any unchanged points). Or at least, the same level of point precision.
This is for an indoor floorplan/map. The original coordinates were exported from autocad.
From what I've read on FeatureScript questions this looks do-able in OnShape.
Thanks in advance.
