P-CAD to AutoCAD Rendering Guide

This skill guides the process of converting P-CAD DSL code into AutoLISP scripts and automating AutoCAD to render the final drawing.

Prerequisites

• Transpiler: f:\Uchannel\.agent\skills\image-to-pcad\scripts\pcad_to_autolisp.py
• AutoCAD: Installed on the system (typically C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2021\acad.exe).
• Workspace: Operations should ideally happen in a workspace-local folder or h:\automation_temp to avoid permission/path issues.

Step 1: Transpilation

Convert the .pcad file to .lsp using the Python transpiler.

python f:\Uchannel\.agent\skills\image-to-pcad\scripts\pcad_to_autolisp.py <source.pcad> <output.lsp>
