Skills (10)

• analyze-size-distribution

  Use when choosing drawing-cleanup thresholds, analyzing entity length or area distributions, counting entities under a candidate size cutoff, or deciding what is safe to delete from a DWG. Calls the autocad MCP analyze_size_distribution tool. Data-driven cutoffs, never guesses.

• cad-workflow

  Use this skill whenever a task touches AutoCAD, Map 3D, Civil 3D, DWG/DXF files, drawing inspection, drawing cleanup, CAD screenshots, or the autocad MCP tools (get_cad_status, inspect_drawing, analyze_size_distribution, inspect_entities, render_view, capture_session_view, select_in_session, open_fo

• capture-session-view

  Use when the user wants a screenshot of exactly what they see in their AutoCAD, Map 3D, or Civil 3D session right now - "show me my screen", "capture my current view", including Civil 3D styling. Calls the autocad MCP capture_session_view tool. Instant and passive.

• check-cad-installation

  Use when CAD tools are failing, when verifying a new or unfamiliar machine, or when the user asks which AutoCAD products (AutoCAD, Map 3D, Civil 3D) are installed or whether the CAD toolchain is ready. Calls the autocad MCP check_cad_installation tool. Registry scan only, launches nothing.

• get-cad-status

  Use when the user asks what is open in AutoCAD, Map 3D, or Civil 3D, whether a drawing is saved, which CAD sessions are running, or before starting any other CAD/drawing task. Calls the autocad MCP get_cad_status tool. Read-only, safe to call anytime.

• inspect-drawing

  Use when the user wants an inventory or overview of a DWG drawing - layers, entity counts by type, blocks, xrefs, coordinate system (CRS), AEC or proxy objects, or a general "what's in this drawing" deep inspection. Calls the autocad MCP inspect_drawing tool. Works on a clone, never the original.

• inspect-entities

  Use when the user needs detailed DXF properties, bounding boxes, or a deep dump of specific entities in a DWG - "what is this entity", "why is this object invisible", or debugging a handful of problem objects by type or layer. Calls the autocad MCP inspect_entities tool.

• open-for-editing

  Use when the user wants to edit a drawing, open a DWG in the Civil 3D automation session, or prepare a working copy for modification. Calls the autocad MCP open_for_editing tool. Launches Civil 3D (a license seat) and works on a clone; confirm first.

• render-view

  Use when the user wants an image of a drawing - PNG, PDF, or SVG render of a DWG, a view of the extents or a coordinate window, or a layer-filtered picture - without touching their live CAD session. Calls the autocad MCP render_view tool. Headless, works on a clone.

• select-in-session

  Use when the user wants entities selected or highlighted in their live AutoCAD or Map 3D session - "select all the short lines", "highlight everything on this layer", QSELECT-style selection by type, layer, or length - so they can review before acting. Calls the autocad MCP select_in_session tool. T
