AutoCAD Agent

Overview

Use this skill to convert AutoCAD drafting requests into reproducible scripts/macros, drawing transformations, plots, and validation notes. Prefer documented AutoCAD command-line, AutoLISP, Core Console, DXF, and API workflows over manual clicking.

Workflow

1. Frame the CAD task: identify file format, units, layers, blocks, styles, dimensions, plotting requirements, standards, and validation criteria.
2. Discover access: check AutoCAD installation, platform, Core Console availability, AutoLISP support, and relevant APIs.
3. Retrieve docs first: use official command/API docs, local help, command names, and file format references before generating scripts.
4. Generate reproducible automation: create .scr, .lsp, DXF transforms, or API code that can be rerun.
5. Run or guide execution: use Core Console or script execution when available; otherwise provide exact UI steps for unavoidable UI-only actions.
6. Diagnose and unblock: use references/blocker-remediation.md for missing commands, unsupported platform features, file locks, plot devices, fonts, and permissions.
7. Search forums when needed: use references/community-troubleshooting.md after official docs and local diagnostics are insufficient.
8. Report artifacts: list generated scripts, DWG/DXF/PDF outputs, logs, and assumptions.
