Automate CAD work, don't simulate it.
Kidge doesn't click through the UI like a macro – every tool calls the native Inventor API directly, with real exceptions instead of silent failures.
Sketches & features
Sketch, extrude, revolve, add fillets and chamfers, create patterns and mirrors, shell out bodies, assign material – the full path from the first line to a finished feature tree.
Assemblies
Place components and sub-assemblies, set all five constraint types (mate, flush, insert, angle, tangent), and read the full bill of materials recursively across every level.
Drawings
Create base, projected, and section views, dimension linear/radius/diameter, read and set title block text, export to PDF/DWG/DXF/STEP – without clicking manually through every sheet.
Sheet metal
Base faces from sketches, flanges on edges, flat pattern, and corner seams – the typical sheet-metal workflows, tested end-to-end.
Understanding the model
Calculate mass, volume, and surface area, address faces and edges with stable references, take screenshots from 10 viewing angles – the structured view Kidge needs before changing anything.
Autodesk Vault
A generic bridge to Vault's ribbon commands: list available commands (check out, check in, get latest version) and run them on demand – with no hard dependency on Vault's own API.
