Tell AutoCAD what you want. Watch it draft.
CADshift AI gives Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot and any MCP client a hundred-odd tools inside the AutoCAD on your PC: it reads your drawings, draws and changes geometry, checks and fixes your drafting standard, and does the civil work — surfaces, alignments, sections, corridors, floods — that used to need Civil 3D.

Alignments, profiles, corridors and cross sections, in plain AutoCAD.
Describe the road and its limits. CADshift lays the alignment over real terrain, designs the vertical profile to your grade, builds the corridor with lanes, kerbs and batters, cuts the cross sections and puts them on sheets. No Civil 3D. In the film: a new road up the wooded hillside east of Stowe, Vermont, kept within 8%.
Press a prompt to play the film from there.
- Alignment within 8%
- Long section
- Corridor
- Cross sections
- A1 sheets
Building pads that balance cut and fill, with the depths shaded.
Bring in the parcels, buildings and terrain of any site, then grade a pad at the level where cut equals fill, with batters to the ground, and see the cut and fill by depth before it goes on a sheet. In the film: a 20 × 30 m pad on a hilltop lot on Taber Hill Road, Stowe, Vermont, at 1:500.

- Parcels and buildings
- 1 m contours
- Balanced pad
- Cut and fill
- A3 at 1:500
Lots laid out to your area and frontage, numbered and labelled.
Give the lot size and the frontage. CADshift brings an access road and cul-de-sac in off the existing street, cuts the parcel either side of it into lots, labels each with its number and area, and puts the layout on a sheet. In the film: 18 lots of about 1,000 m² on a meadow off Weeks Hill Road, Stowe, Vermont.

- Number and area labels
- A3 at 1:1000
A gravity sewer to your grade, cover and manhole spacing, with its long section.
Import a surveyed ground surface in its own coordinate system, then lay a sewer to your minimum grade, cover and manhole spacing. CADshift sets the inverts, draws the long section with the pipes and manholes on it, and puts the plan and the section on one sheet. In the film: a 150 mm sewer across a lot on Kay Street, Triabunna, Tasmania.
Press a prompt to play the film from there.
- Surveyed surface
- 0.25 m contours
- 150 mm sewer, 5 manholes
- Long section
- A3 plan and section
A reviewer's red markups, applied to the drawing from one line.
Drop a scanned or photographed marked-up sheet into the chat. The assistant reads each markup and CADshift makes the change in the drawing: lots merged and relabelled, geometry resized, roads named, the title block filled in. In the film: four markups on a subdivision in Stowe, Vermont, all applied and the sheet saved.
Press the prompt to play the film from there.
- Lots 1 and 2 combined
- 12 m cul-de-sac
- Road named MAYO LANE
- Drawn and checked filled in

CADshift AI for AutoCAD for your organisation: everyone who signs in with your organisation's Microsoft account, per seat.
- Everything in Individual
- One plan for the organisation
- Five seats or more
- Priority support
Individual is one account, one PC at a time. Team is per seat, a seat being a person who uses it in a calendar month, five seats at least, bought with a work Microsoft account; everyone who signs in with your organisation's account is covered.
Three steps. The trial starts at the first one.
Install the CADshift plugin for AutoCAD 14-day trial starts
Install the signed CADshift bundle and start AutoCAD 2025, 2026 or 2027; the CADshift ribbon tab appears. The trial begins on the first run: no card, no account needed on the PC.
Connect your assistant
On the PC, add the CADshift MCP server to Claude Desktop or any MCP client. From anywhere, press Sign in on the CADshift tab (or run CADSHIFTSIGNIN), sign in on cadshift.com, and point Microsoft 365 Copilot or Claude at https://cadshift.com/mcp.
After the trial, activate your plan
Buy Individual or Team above. Your product key is on your account page and in the purchase email; in AutoCAD, ask the assistant to activate the licence with it (the activate_license tool). The relay knows your plan as soon as it is paid; nothing to enter there.
Yours. CADshift is the set of tools; the reasoning is done by the assistant you already have — Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT or any MCP client — under your own subscription with them. Your drawings are never sent to CADshift's servers.
Install and use it: 14 days with everything, no card. The relay gives your account the same 14 days from its first call. When the trial ends, choose a plan; nothing is charged until you do.
Individual is one account, one PC at a time. Team covers everyone who signs in with your organisation's Microsoft account, five seats or more; a seat is a person using it in a calendar month. Team is bought with a work Microsoft account.
Autodesk's answers questions about the drawing. CADshift's also draws and changes it, checks and fixes standards, imports templates, does the civil work, runs on AutoCAD 2025 and 2026 too, and reaches your PC from Copilot or Claude anywhere.
Yes, from your account page. Cancelling ends the plan straight away, on the PC and on the relay, rather than at the end of the paid period, so cancel on the day you stop needing it; nothing further is charged.
