Can AI draw a floor plan in AutoCAD from a text description?

Yes. Type the plan as you'd brief a drafter: "Draw an open-plan office module, 1800 by 1420 cm. Outer wall around the module, a 4 by 5 grid of identical 140 × 80 desks, label the room OFFICE near the centre. 1 unit = 1 cm." cadssistant fixes the scale and origin, draws the outer wall first so something is on screen, defines the desk once as a block and places twenty inserts on a furniture layer, then adds the label, each pass in its own batch and its own layer. It states every assumption: wall thickness, aisle widths, layer names. Change any of them by replying.

What you typeCommand: CADSSISTANT

Draw an open-plan office module, 1800 by 1420 cm. Put an outer wall rectangle around the whole module, lay out a 4-by-5 grid of identical 140x80 desks (define the desk once and place copies), and label the room 'OFFICE' near the centre. Scale: 1 unit = 1 cm.

Paste it into the palette, or pick it from the recipes inside the chat.

What cadssistant does

  1. Settles the scale and origin from the brief (1 unit = 1 cm, origin at the view centre unless you give one) and says so in one sentence before drawing.
  2. Draws the outer wall as a closed polyline on a wall layer (A-WALL unless you name one) in the first pass, so the outline is on screen before the furniture is computed.
  3. Defines a 140 × 80 desk block once, then places the 4 × 5 grid of inserts on a furniture layer in one step, aisles chosen from the module size.
  4. Adds the OFFICE label on an annotation layer and replies with the layers, block name and spacings it used.

Good to know

  • Reply with corrections, not a new brief: "make the aisle 180" or "rotate the desks 90°" re-places the inserts and keeps the walls.
  • Internal walls, doors and a meeting room with a round table and six chairs are the same kind of request. See Redraw a floor plan from an image for working from a screenshot.
