DXF generation and validation

Purpose

Create or modify 2D DXF drawings from natural-language requirements or from CAD geometry, generate validated .dxf artifacts, and return checked outputs. DXF sources are Python files defining gen_dxf() returning an ezdxf document; the CLI owns output paths.

Two source shapes are supported:

Standalone drafting: a Python source defining only gen_dxf(). Use for pure 2D outputs — gaskets, panels, templates, cut layouts — with no 3D model behind them.

CAD projection: a gen_dxf() added to a CAD generator source that also defines gen_step(). Use when the DXF is a drawing or profile of a 3D part; create and validate the STEP geometry with $cad first, then add the projection in the same source file.

Use this skill when

Use this skill when the user asks for DXF files, 2D drawings, profiles, outlines, templates, gaskets, panels, flat patterns, or cut layouts for laser, plasma, waterjet, or CNC routing.
