TradesQuote now accepts DXF attachments in the estimator. DXF files are uploaded to the estimator inputs bucket, parsed during estimate generation, and converted into structured CAD context for the AI estimator.
What Is Supported
- DXF upload from the new estimate form
- Storage with the normalized
application/dxftype - CAD summaries for layers, entity counts, dimensions, lengths, areas, circles, arcs, inserts, units, and text annotations
- Multiple DXF files on a single estimate
Estimate Generation
DXF drawings are parsed before the estimate prompt is built. The generated CAD context is passed as reference data, while non-DXF attachments continue through the normal document and image flow.
Warnings and Artifacts
Normalized DXF artifacts are stored back into the estimator inputs bucket, and parser warnings are saved in estimate metadata. When a DXF has missing units, missing bounds, no text annotations, or partially supported entity types, the estimate page displays those warnings.
