Engineering drawing
Provenance: maintained in earthtojake/text-to-cad. Use the installed local skill files as the runtime source of truth.
An engineering drawing is a DOCUMENT derived from a part. cadgen.eng_drawing
projects views from the part's geometry, places dimensions between points ON
that geometry, finds centre marks on it, and lays the result out on an ISO
sheet with a frame and a title block. Change the model, rerun the drawing
script, and the views, hidden lines and measured values move with it. Nothing
on the sheet is drawn by hand, and nothing on it is a number you typed unless
you chose to override a value.
The output is one PDF. That is what a shop receives and what every
operating system opens. No DXF is written, nothing is paired or linked, and
there is no CLI: the script is the interface. $dxf makes cut layouts and flat
patterns, which are toolpaths, not documents; the two are different jobs.
