What is create-dxf?
The create-dxf skill enables engineers and makers to bridge the gap between conceptual design and physical manufacturing. By transforming high-level prompts into a strictly validated JSON specification, this tool generates high-quality 2D CAD files compatible with waterjet, laser, and CNC router workflows. It focuses on deterministic output, ensuring that every bracket, mounting plate, or hole pattern meets strict manufacturing standards.
This utility is a vital addition to any technical workflow involving Openclaw Skills, as it automates the tedious task of manual CAD drawing for simple 2D parts. By emitting both a DXF for production and an SVG for quick visual inspection, it significantly streamlines the design-to-production pipeline.
create-dxf Use Cases
- Designing custom mounting plates for robotics or electronics projects.
- Generating gussets and brackets for structural frames.
- Creating precise hole patterns and slot arrangements for mechanical enclosures.
- Automating the creation of RFQ-ready CAD files from textual descriptions using Openclaw Skills.
How create-dxf Works
- Convert a natural-language design prompt into a validated JSON specification following the provided schema.
- Run the validation script to ensure the JSON spec is mathematically and syntactically correct.
- Execute the render command to generate the final manufacturing-ready assets using the Openclaw Skills framework.
- Review the generated SVG for visual accuracy before sending the DXF to a fabricator.
create-dxf Setup
Ensure you have Python 3 installed and access to the internal scripts. To begin generating files with this component of your Openclaw Skills library, follow these steps:
# Validate your specification
python3 scripts/create_dxf.py validate spec.json
# Render the DXF and SVG files to an output directory
python3 scripts/create_dxf.py render spec.json --outdir out
create-dxf Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill relies on a strict JSON specification using center-origin coordinates and explicit units. This ensures consistency when used alongside other Openclaw Skills. Output files are organized as follows:
| File Extension | Description | Entities Used |
|---|---|---|
| .dxf | Production-ready CAD file | LWPOLYLINE (outer), CIRCLE (inner) |
| .svg | Visual preview | Vector paths |
Layer organization is optimized for manufacturing:
- CUT_OUTER: For the perimeter profile.
- CUT_INNER: For internal holes and slots.
- NOTES: For optional manufacturing annotations.
create-dxf Advanced Features
- Deterministic geometry generation ensuring repeatability across different environments using Openclaw Skills.
- Support for manufacturing-oriented layers to streamline CNC toolpathing and CAM software import.
- Automated validation of design specs to prevent manufacturing errors before rendering assets.
- Lightweight SVG preview generation for rapid iteration without needing specialized CAD software.
