# CAD Skill This skill allows an AI assistant to control locally installed CAD applications on Windows. Supported software currently includes: - solidworks - catia - creo - ug (Siemens NX) The skill enables launching CAD software, opening files with specific applications, checking running status, closing applications, and detecting active CAD windows. This skill is intended for **local workstation automation**. --- # Important Constraints The assistant must follow these constraints when using this skill: 1. Do not scan the entire computer filesystem. 2. Do not traverse all directories on disk. 3. Do not read the Windows registry. 4. Only use paths stored in `config.json`. 5. Only check predefined candidate install paths. If the executable cannot be located: - ask the user to provide the full executable path - then call `set_app_path` to store the path. --- # Supported Applications Currently supported CAD software: - solidworks - catia - creo - ug --- # Execution All commands are executed through: skill_runner.py Input payload format: ```json { "skill": "launch_app", "args": { "app": "solidworks" } } ``` # Supported Actions ## launch_app Launch a CAD application. Arguments: - app - config_file (optional) ## open_file_in_app Open a file using a specified CAD application. Arguments: - app - file_path - config_file(optional) - auto_launch(optional) - wait_seconds(optional) ## is_app_runing Check whether a CAD application is currently running. Arguments: - app - config_file(optional) ## close_app Close a CAD application. Arguments: - app - config_file(optional) - force(optional) ## get_activate_app Detect which CAD application window is currently active. Arguments: - config_file(optional) ## get_running_apps Return all currently running supported CAD applications. Arguments: - config_file(optional) ## detect_app_path Detect an executable path using only predefined paths and saved paths. Arguments: - app - config_file(optional) ## set_app_path Save a user provided executable path into the configuration file. Arguments: - app - path - config_file(optional) # Example Usage Launch SolidWorks: ```json { "skill": "launch_app", "args": { "app": "solidworks" } } ``` open a STEP file in SolidWorks: ```json { "skill": "open_file_in_app", "args": { "app": "solidworks", "file_path": "D:\\DESKTOP\\solvi_project\\moca\\moca.STEP", "auto_launch": true, "wait_seconds": 5 } } ``` Save a user provided executable path: ```json { "skill": "set_app_path", "args": { "app": "solidworks", "path": "E:\\Program Files\\SOLIDWORKS Corp\\SOLIDWORKS\\SLDWORKS.exe" } } ``` # Note This skill is designed for **local CAD workstation automation**. It intentionally avoids heavy filesystem scanning to maintain fast response and predictable behavior.
