Adds production-grade engineering features and tools: 2D GD&T (feature control frames + datum features) via engineering/gdt.py, ISO‑129 dimension tolerance support (engineering/tolerances.py) and an ezdxf/COM plumbing for toleranced dims, a scalar drawing score + invalidity ratio (engineering/scoring.py) wired into drawing_finalize, in-place entity editors (entity_edit_text/entity_edit_geometry), and a friendly drawing_settings facade. Includes server tool wiring, COM/ezdxf backend implementations, datum-consistency critique, many unit tests, README/CLAUDE/CHANGELOG updates, and a version bump to 1.2.0. Also corrects COM backend capability label (entities_2d).
Introduce the autocad-mcp-premium skill with workflow docs, examples, and references (.claude/skills/autocad-mcp-premium/*). Add PlanSpec/critique plumbing and engineering helpers (engineering/plan_spec.py, engineering/critique.py) plus tests and a smoke script. Extend backend API (backends/base.py) with corner operations and premium meta-tools (trim/extend/fillet/chamfer, drawing_plan, drawing_critique, point_from_snap, construction_xline/clear, drawing_apply_iso_layers, dimension_auto, entity_select_smart) and implement COM backend corner ops (backends/com_backend.py) with placeholders for meta-tools. Update CLAUDE.md to document the premium drawing rules and standard workflow. Misc: add examples, references, and tests for premium features, and minor server/backend adjustments.
Introduces an engineering/ package that lets MCP clients produce production-
quality technical drawings without LLM-improvised geometry. Adds 7 new MCP
tools, an 8-step pre-completion validator, and an automatic linetype + layer
bootstrap on drawing_new so CENTER/HIDDEN/PHANTOM and standard mechanical
layers (GEOMETRY, DIM, HATCH, TEXT, TITLEBLOCK, ...) are always available.
- engineering/gear.py: pure-Python involute math, 40+ points/flank, helical
+ spur front views, deterministic section A-A (no helix lines in section).
- engineering/keyway.py: DIN 6885 keyway table + parametric keyed bore /
side-section drawers.
- engineering/titleblock.py: ISO 7200 A3 (420x297 mm) title block; title
text is written verbatim to the title cell.
- engineering/validator.py: DrawingValidator with 8 checks (real DIMENSION
entities, no hidden orphans, linetypes loaded, bore + keyway in both
views when expected, title consistency e.g. forbid 'HELICAL SPUR GEAR'
when helix_angle truthy, saved-to-disk + file-on-disk, screenshot
exported, dwg path returned).
- backends/ezdxf_backend.py: AutoCAD-only linetype fallback (HIDDEN,
BORDER families) so ezdxf doc gets correct patterns when linetype_load
is called for names ezdxf.tools.standards does not ship.
- backends/base.py: concrete helpers set_layer_active / ensure_linetypes.
- server.py: Section 12 with 7 engineering tools, drawing_new(bootstrap=
True), and an ENGINEERING WORKFLOW block in the MCP instructions string.
- 30 new tests covering gear math, DIN6885 lookup, ISO A3 layout, title
verbatim, and every validator check. Tool count 89 -> 96.
