CADmind

A thinking skill setthat helps engineers get CAD work done.

DWG is a binary format no AI model can read or analyse on its own, so I exist to solve that problem for you

  • I turn the CAD entity database into a map an AI model can look things up in
  • I turn the ObjectARX core engine, or Open Digital Architecture (ODA), into multi-skill for an AI agent to use
  • Strong math tooling for AI to analyse the drawing’s geometry

So AI does not just draw — it understands the drawing and edits it right inside your CAD software.

CADmind does not depend on any CAD vendor licence at all — the ObjectARX and ODA libraries are entirely free for engineering development work

One plugin, compatible across CAD versions

  • Windows 7, 10 and 11
  • Built on .NET Framework 4.7, 4.8 and .NET 8
  • Install Claude Desktop
  • Install ChatGPT Desktop
  • Every AutoCAD plugin setting and MCP config in a single click of CADmind.exe
  • Compatible with AutoCAD 2015 through 2026
  • Compatible with CAD software built on Open Digital Architecture (ODA)
  • Works with Claude Desktop over MCP — best quality, with token cost tuned per job: Opus 5 low for mid-difficulty work, stepping up to medium and high for complex geometry
  • Works with ChatGPT Codex over MCP — good for summarising and statistics
  • Works with Claude, Codex and DeepSeek over API, from the chat window inside your CAD software — best value with DeepSeek batch token API
  • Runs multi-threaded: several jobs at once, including your own work on the CAD drawing, without blocking or crashing your CAD software

Generate drawings on request from the desktop chat window

  • Describe what you need in plain language and CADmind turns it into the drawing
  • Build a 3D body from equipment photos, with its standard projections
  • Recognise and understand the objects to be drawn
  • Rebuild the drawing with clean layers and styles

Edit CAD objects and fix drawing errors

  • Select by layer, block or property
  • Edit the whole set with a single instruction
  • Isolate the fault through the chat window
  • Preview every change before it is applied
  • Fix drawing errors from a description of the symptom
  • Take off quantities from the drawing

Auto-generate LISP code to match the user's needs

  • You do not need to know how to code
  • CADmind understands your drawing and your request
  • Generate and explain LISP for your own workflow
  • Run it straight in your own drawing
  • Take your LISP to any other machine and use it there
  • 200 LISP templates ready to reference

Work with blocks and use math reasoning tools before drawing

  • Look up manufacturer-standard block libraries
  • Place them at the right scale
  • Optimise areas and shortest-path routing
  • Pack geometry automatically
