Works beside your CAD, on the model you have open
A Windows app for Autodesk Fusion, SOLIDWORKS, and Bambu Studio. It works through each application’s own interface, so its changes land in your timeline or feature tree.
Sidekick or overlay
Sidekick
Docks next to your CAD window and narrows it to make room. Press Ctrl+L to show or hide it while you work.
Overlay
A bar along the bottom of the CAD window that opens into a full panel. Press Esc to collapse it.
In each application
Autodesk Fusion
- Reads the open design: sketches, features, parameters, components, and the timeline.
- Creates and edits native features through Fusion’s API.
- Connects through Fusion’s own MCP server, with no add-in to install.
SOLIDWORKS
- Works with parts, assemblies, and drawings.
- Reads the feature tree and your current selection.
- Connects through a per-user add-in, including 3DEXPERIENCE editions.
Bambu Studio
- Reads the open project: plates, objects, filaments, and print settings.
- Changes settings with undo, slices plates, and reports time, material, and warnings.
- Checks your printers and starts a print only when you ask.
Start from a drawing, a photo, or a file
Drawings, photos, and sketches
Attach PDFs, images, and hand sketches with your request. Photos from a phone are converted automatically.
CAD files by path
Paste the local path to a STEP or STL file and Vector opens it from disk.
A folder for every chat
Each chat works in a project folder whose files Vector can list and search.
Sees the CAD window
Vector takes screenshots of your CAD application to check its work, and can click through dialogs.
Searches the web
Looks up references, standards, and vendor documentation when a task needs them.
Engineering math in Python
Runs Python with NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, pandas, pint for units, and CoolProp for fluid properties. Variables carry over between steps in a chat.
Steer it while it works
Queue or redirect mid-task
Queue the next request while Vector works, send it right away to change course, or stop the task.
Every step in the conversation
Each action appears in the chat with what it changed, so you can follow the work afterward.
Choose the model and effort
Pick the model and reasoning level for each chat from the model picker.
Know when it’s done
Get a notification or a sound when a long task finishes, so you can work on something else.
Sharing and history
Links that replay the work
Share a conversation as a link, with or without its screenshots and files. The page keeps up as the chat continues.
Search past chats
Find earlier work by search. Chats are grouped by project and sorted by recent activity.
Bring your history with you
Import conversations from Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude and continue them in Vector.
