General Usage Instructions

Welcome to Your New Design Assistant

Begin your journey with the Ask AI Interface, designed to seamlessly integrate AI into your AutoCAD workflow, revolutionizing how you approach design with unmatched precision. Follow these steps to get started and maximize the capabilities of your AI-powered design tool.

Step 1: Initial Setup

Activate Your AI: When you run the Ask AI Interface for the first time, you’ll be prompted to enter your OpenAI API key. This one-time setup is crucial to enable the AI functionalities within AutoCAD.

Obtain an OpenAI API Key: If you don’t already have an API key, you can obtain one from the OpenAI website. This key will connect your interface to the AI services, allowing you to leverage the advanced capabilities of the tool.

Step 2: Familiarize Yourself with the Interface

Chat Interface: Use the chat box to directly communicate with AI. Simply type your design questions or commands, and press send.

Status Bar and Object Selection Button:

The status bar at the bottom of the interface provides useful information about the current operation, such as the number of objects selected.

Use the object selection button to specify which objects to analyze or manipulate.

Note: The number of objects you can select is not limited, but due to token limits, the model receives a limited amount of data. The number of non-text items sent varies from approximately 50 to 100, averaging around 75 items. Text items consume more token usage based on the amount of text. Occasionally, a “Bad Request” error may occur if too much data is sent. Try selecting fewer objects in such cases.

1. Layer Dropdown: This feature allows you to choose whether your commands apply to an “AI-generated” layer or the current working layer in AutoCAD.
2. Settings: Access the settings through the designated button to adjust preferences or re-enter your API key if needed.
3. Help and New Chat:Utilize the help button for guidance on using the interface or troubleshooting issues.The new chat button allows you to start a new conversation, clearing the previous chat history to keep your workspace organized.

 Step 3: Engage with AI

• Sending Commands: After entering your commands in the chat box and hitting send, the AI will process your input and perform actions like drawing lines, and circles, or adding text to your AutoCAD drawing.
• View Responses: Responses from AI appear directly in the chat interface, allowing you to review and follow up if necessary.

Step 4: Maximize Your Productivity

• Customize Your Experience: Use the settings and features to tailor the interface to your workflow, ensuring you get the most out of your AI assistant.
• Dynamic Interaction: Remember that the results may vary depending on the complexity of the commands and your specific project needs. This flexibility is part of what makes the Ask AI Interface a powerful tool for customization and creativity.

Conclusion With the Ask AI Interface, you are equipped to tackle any design challenge more efficiently and with unparalleled precision. Keep exploring the capabilities of your AI assistant, and don’t hesitate to use the help resources available to optimize your usage. Screenshots and additional guides will be provided to help you familiarize yourself with every element of the interface.
