Getting started — first drawing in five minutes
The copilot proposes; you approve. Every action that changes a document is listed before it runs, and anything risky asks for confirmation. Review generated drawings before release — the built-in verifier helps, but you remain the checker.
For IT administrators
Silent installation

Proxies: the desktop app and add-in honour the Windows system proxy (WinHTTP / HTTPS_PROXY). TLS inspection proxies must allow the two hosts above or the sign-in fails with a certificate error.
What leaves the PC
Feature lists, dimensions and bounding boxes of the open model, your chat text, screenshots of generated drawing sheets for review, and files you explicitly attach. Native SolidWorks files are not uploaded. Details and retention periods: Privacy Policy; processors: Sub-processors.
On-premise
Enterprise customers can run the AI service on their own server; the same installer is used with /BACKENDURL=https://drawai.yourcompany.local. Contact sales@machintell.ai.
Updates
The desktop app updates itself (checks every 4 hours; signed packages only). The SolidWorks add-in is updated by re-running the installer — the desktop app tells users when that is needed.
