SolidworksMCP-python

export_dwg

Export SolidWorks drawings to DWG format for use in AutoCAD and other CAD applications.

Instructions

Export the current drawing to DWG format.

Converts SolidWorks drawings to DWG (Drawing) format, the native AutoCAD file format widely used in architecture, engineering, and construction industries for 2D technical drawings.

Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states the core function. It does not disclose whether the drawing must be saved, if files are overwritten, or any other behavioral traits (e.g., limitations, dependencies).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences front-loaded with the primary action, followed by contextual industry information. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema and full parameter descriptions, the description is adequate but lacks guidance on usage context (e.g., when export is successful, what happens if drawing is not open). Does not cover prerequisites or error scenarios.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides (file_path, format_type, options). The description does not elaborate on how to use parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool exports the current drawing to DWG format, specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like export_step or export_pdf by targeting DWG format specifically.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus other export tools (e.g., export_pdf, export_image, batch_export). The description does not mention prerequisites, alternatives, or conditions for use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
