Is the internal data model of fusion structured enough to be understood with a text-based LLM? Or do you need to basically screenshot the render to understand what is happening?

Would a more CAD-as-code based approach to CAD design be more suitable?

Just like, LLMs have an easier time to build a presentation with latex than with powerpoint...

We are using a CAD as code approach! Like I said in the post we heavily leverage FeatureScript to drive Onshape and Python to drive Fusion

Okay, I will read it and then probably need to google most of these :D

Here you can see how code drives the modeling

I’m a soft developer by trade and CAD is just something I do in order to be able to make the hardware I want to make. I’m not good at it and it takes me forever.

This is very exciting.

Next step, I need the same for PCB design, with good understanding of EMI issues.
