AI AGENT WORKFLOWS THAT AUTOMATE REPETITIVE AUTOCAD TASKS

Apply drawing standards, repair Xref paths, revise drawing sets and automate drawing production with your AI agent inside Autodesk AutoCAD.

AUTOM8LABS MCP Connector gives your AI agent the tools to carry out these tasks using your project standards and instructions. Work on individual drawings or process entire folders of DWGs, from updating titleblocks to preparing PDFs for issue.

AGENT WORKFLOWS

Full workflow access requires a licence.

• Apply drawing standards: remap layers across a folder of DWGs using your CAD standards table.

• Repair Xref paths: update references when project folders move and identify unresolved paths.

• Revise drawing sets: update revision letters, dates and other titleblock attributes across multiple drawings.

• Extract drawing information: collect block attributes into Excel for schedules, registers and project checks.

• Prepare drawings for issue: manage layouts, viewports and plotting, then batch-plot drawing folders to PDF.

• Create and annotate drawings: draw and modify geometry, add dimensions, leaders and tables, and organise content into blocks and layers.

• Check and maintain DWGs: purge and audit drawing folders and produce health reports for review.

GIVE YOUR AI AGENT A TASK

Provide the drawing folder, project standards and task details, then review the results in AutoCAD.

"Remap the layers in this drawing folder using our CAD standards table."

"Replace the old Xref folder path with the new project location and report any unresolved references."

"Update the revision letter, date and description in every matching titleblock across this project folder."

"Extract all door block attributes to Excel."

"Plot every layout in this drawing folder to PDF."

"Draw a polyline boundary around these entities and hatch it."

FREE EDITION INCLUDED

Start by asking your AI agent questions about your drawings. The free edition includes tools to inspect entities, layers, blocks, attributes, layouts, styles and Xrefs, measure geometry and navigate drawings. The free edition does not expire.

"How many blocks are on the ELEC layer?"

"List every layout with its plot size."

"List all Xrefs and their paths."

"Read the attributes of the titleblock."

UNLOCK THE FULL WORKFLOWS

A Pro licence adds tools for drawing creation, modification, annotation, layer and block management, layouts, plotting, Xref management and 3D solids. Folder batch tools let your agent apply changes across drawing sets.

Activate your licence inside AutoCAD using the same installation.

EASY SETUP

Configure supported AI apps from the connector's setup panel. Automatic configuration is available for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT desktop and Cursor. Other compatible MCP stdio clients can be configured manually.

USE YOUR OWN AI

Work with your own AI account. Your AI provider's subscription requirements, usage limits and data policies apply.

The connector communicates locally with AutoCAD and returns tool results to your AI app. Your AI app may send that information to its provider for processing, depending on its configuration.
