CAD-MCP is an innovative CAD control service that allows controlling CAD software for drawing operations through natural language instructions. This project combines natural language processing and CAD automation technology, enabling users to create and modify CAD drawings through simple text commands without manually operating the CAD interface.

• Multiple CAD Software Support: Supports mainstream CAD software including AutoCAD, GstarCAD (GCAD) and ZWCAD
• Basic Drawing Functions:
  • Line drawing
  • Circle drawing
  • Arc drawing
  • Rectangle drawing
  • Polyline drawing
  • Text addition
  • Pattern filling
  • Dimension annotation
• Layer Management: Create and switch layers
• Drawing Save: Save the current drawing as a DWG file

• Command Parsing: Parse natural language instructions into CAD operation parameters
• Color Recognition: Extract color information from text and apply it to drawing objects
• Shape Keyword Mapping: Support recognition of various shape description words
• Action Keyword Mapping: Recognize various drawing and editing actions
