Draft with the AI in Cloud CAD
Updated November 12, 2026
Every drafting tool in Cloud CAD is free. The AI tools are the exception: they send your request and the drawing to an AI model, so they use AI credits.
Before you start
Sign in to MyCloudSuites (in the desktop app, choose Sign in at the top). AI credits are bought ahead on your account page. Signed out or offline, requests use the free demo, which handles rooms, selections and area questions and costs nothing.
Draw by describing it
- In the assistant on the right, type what you need, such as Add a 12’ × 14’ bedroom east of the bath with a 3’ door.
- Under the box, Cloud CAD says about how many credits it will use and how many you have. Choose Draft it to send it. A request that fails costs nothing.
- What it proposes shows in its own color, and nothing in your drawing changes until you choose:
- Accept (Enter) to add it,
- Discard (Esc) to throw it away, or
- Change request to ask for something different.
The other AI tools
- Sketch to CAD: choose a photo of a sketch, and it becomes clean lines.
- Review my plan: a plain-English review of your plan, with code flags for things like door widths and bedroom windows.
Each one shows what it costs before it runs. Drawing Doctor (finds gaps, duplicate lines and layer mistakes) and Takeoff (counts doors and windows and adds up areas) are always free and work offline.
What they send
The AI tools send your request and the drawing they work on (and, for Sketch to CAD, the photo) through MyCloudSuites to Anthropic. The Privacy Policy says what’s sent and what’s kept.
AI can get things wrong, so check what it drafts before you build from it.
