What problem does it solve?

Managing local CAD automation on Windows can be tedious due to manual launching, file handling, and status checks across multiple CAD applications. This skill provides a unified way to start, operate, and monitor CAD tools from a single interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Launch supported CAD software (SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, UG) on Windows.
  • Open files with the appropriate CAD application, with optional auto-launch if the app is not running.
  • Check whether a CAD application is currently running and close it when needed.
  • Detect the active CAD window and identify the corresponding application.
  • Save and reuse user-provided executable paths for faster startup.

Quick Start

Launch a CAD app or open a file in a selected CAD program on Windows.
