45 minutes, no pitch. We look at your workflow, and I tell you exactly where the leverage is

Most engineers think automating AutoCAD requires knowing how to code. It doesn't. In this video I walk you through the exact setup I use to run agentic workflows inside AutoCAD - no coding background needed.

You'll go from zero to having Claude Desktop installed, connected to AutoCAD, and running your first skill, a structured pad footing design that spits out a PDF calc sheet and draws directly in AutoCAD.

I also break down the SET Framework, the folder structure that makes this repeatable across any automation you build.

What you'll need:
- Claude Desktop (paid account required - $20/month)
- AutoCAD
- The SET Framework folder (free download link below)

Not ready for paid Claude yet? Watch the below video, it's the free alternative using Google Antigravity so you can get a feel for agentic workflows before spending anything.
