dsh-cad-studio

Self-contained DSH plugin for the CAD Tool workflow. One install supplies:

• 16 Host tools covering environment setup, .456d packages, modeling, validation, inspection, ordinary multi-view review, optional model-directed dimensions/cutaways, versioning, and STEP/STL export;
• the browser-side CAD result cards;
• the complete Python cad-cli source used by the environment bootstrapper.

Install

From the DSH plugin marketplace, choose CAD Studio. For a local tarball or registry build, add the single package to the target profile:

dsh plugin --profile 
 add -w dsh-cad-studio

Start a new session after installation, then call cad_env_status. If the isolated Python environment is not ready, approve cad_env_bootstrap once. The dependency download is about 300 MB and does not modify global Python packages.

Headless rendering

Geometry execution, validation, STEP generation, and export work without an attached display. Some Windows render backends can fail when no interactive screen is available; that preview-only failure does not invalidate successful geometry or STEP output.

Package layout
