create_new_drawingLABSCO SUMMARY
Drawing entities become records you can query.
Beyond the drawing commands, the scan-into-SQLite step is what changes the workflow: once entities are indexed you can ask SQL questions about a drawing — how many of a thing, where the text matches are — instead of clicking through it. It is Windows-only by construction, since it drives AutoCAD over COM, and it runs from a checkout rather than a package, so budget a few minutes for the virtual environment before the first call.
What it is
A Python server that drives AutoCAD through its COM interface, so drawing entities can be created and manipulated from a conversation.
What you get
- Drawing primitives created: lines, circles, rectangles, polylines and text
- Entities transformed and located: moved, copied, rotated and highlighted in the drawing
- Layers created or modified, and new drawings started
- The whole drawing scanned into an indexed set of entities, then queried with SQL against the embedded SQLite store
- Text pattern work: occurrences counted, and matches highlighted across the drawing
- PMC control diagrams generated automatically
Requirements
Windows, AutoCAD 2018 or newer with COM support, and Python 3.10+. There is no published package to launch: clone the repository, create a virtual environment, install from requirements.txt, and point your client's command at that environment's python.exe and server.py. The author states the project is not being actively maintained and welcomes co-maintainers.
Setup effort
Build from source — git clone https://github.com/zh19980811/Easy-MCP-AutoCad.git
USE CASES
01
Sketching geometry from a description
Create the lines, circles, rectangles and polylines directly in the open drawing rather than placing them by hand.
02
Auditing what is actually in a drawing
Scan every entity into the local database, then answer counting and grouping questions with a SQL query instead of a visual sweep.
03
Finding every place a label appears
Count the occurrences of a text pattern across the drawing, then highlight the matches so they can be checked on screen.
04
Repositioning parts of a drawing
Move, copy or rotate the entities you named, and highlight one when you need to confirm you have the right object.
05
Starting a drawing with the layers set up
Create the drawing, add the layers it should have, and place the first annotations before any geometry goes in.
