Inside AutoCAD 2024+ · Windows desktop
The AI that drafts where you draft.
cadssistant opens as a palette inside AutoCAD and works your actual drawing — it picks points with your cursor, selects real entities, runs real commands. Generated code runs only after you approve it.
How it works
One command away
- 01
Install
Download the installer and run it — it puts the plug-in where AutoCAD looks. Prefer manual? Bare bundle (.zip).
- 02
Type the command
CADSSISTANTin the command line. The palette opens docked beside your drawing. - 03
Ask
Say what you need. Answer its prompts in the drawing. Approve anything that runs as code.
What it does
In the drawing, not about it
Native prompts
Point, corner, distance, angle, entity, selection — the model asks through AutoCAD's own input machinery, and you answer in the drawing.
Approval-gated code
Generated JavaScript is shown and held until you approve it. Nothing runs silently.
Any model
Claude, GPT, Grok. Switch models per conversation from the same palette.
Local execution
Tool calls run in the palette, directly against AutoCAD's JS API. The drawing file stays on your machine.
Esc means esc
Cancel a prompt like any AutoCAD command. Cancellation returns to the model as information, not an error.
Picks up mid-question
Conversations persist. Reload the palette and a pending question is still there, still answerable.
