Use when working with Siemens S7-200 SMART or STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART V2.8 on Windows, especially to import or export active blocks, compile with keyboard shortcuts, verify output-window results, repair AWL encoding issues, or fix subroutine display-name mismatches such as call errors after import.
Connect to a local Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating V11 window, open a shell-and-tube sample case, rerun it, and capture evidence screenshots on Windows. Use when the user asks to verify Aspen EDR, connect to an already open Aspen EDR session, prove shell-and-tube models can run locally, or quickly validate an Aspen EDR installation before building a custom case.
Attach to an already open AutoCAD Mechanical 2026 desktop instance on Windows and draw a square in the active drawing through AutoCAD COM automation. Use when the user says AutoCAD Mechanical 2026 is installed and open locally and wants Codex to connect to that running app, inspect the active document, or create a square at a chosen size and origin without relying on manual command-line typing inside AutoCAD.
Attach to an already-open Siemens WinCC flexible SMART V5 editor on Windows, bring the HmiES window onscreen, inspect the active hmismart project session, capture the live editor window, and help locate HMI tag addresses or registers such as VW, VD, VB, M, I, and Q from the visible variable grid or properties pane. Use when the user says WinCC flexible SMART V5 is installed/open and asks to connect to the app, inspect the current hmismart project, query a variable address like "TZ通针", or form an input/output closed loop against the live editor instead of an offline copy.
Automate Microsoft Word and Excel desktop work on Windows. Use when Codex needs to type into an already open Word document, create a formatted docx on disk, create or style an Excel workbook, transcribe structured image content into Excel, or prepare Office-ready weather notes and translated follow-up lines for Word.
Use when Adobe Photoshop is already open on Windows and the user wants Codex to connect to the active Photoshop document, remove the background or cut out the subject, optionally place the refined result back into the source document, and export transparent plus white-background outputs.
Connect to an already open SOLIDWORKS session on Windows, inspect the active part, read selected face area, and compute airflow and velocity pressure from the selected inlet face. Use when the user asks to connect to SOLIDWORKS, read a live model, count bodies or faces, calculate volume or selected face area, or estimate duct airflow from face area and air velocity.
Use when working in an open Siemens TIA Portal V17 project through Openness, especially for SCL bag pulse logic, PLC/HMI tag tables, TP1200 screens or popup screens, WinCC VB scripts, cycles, text lists, graphic lists, data records, alarm records, scheduled tasks, structured HMI tag naming, import/export loops, compile checks, or repeatable skill packaging.
