Conjure | AI-Powered CAD Tools

Overview

Conjure offers various configuration options to customize behavior, performance, and integration with your CAD software. This guide covers all available settings and how to configure them.

Accessing Settings

FreeCAD

Switch to the Conjure workbench
Click Conjure → Preferences in the menu
Or click the Settings button in the Conjure panel

Fusion 360

Open the Conjure panel
Click the Settings (gear) icon
Modify settings in the dialog that appears

API Configuration

API Key

Your API key authenticates requests to the Conjure server.

Setting: api_key
Format: String (typically starts with cj_)
Security: Stored securely in your system keychain (not in plain text)

Server URL

The Conjure server endpoint. Only change this if using a self-hosted instance.

Setting: server_url
Default: https://api.conjure.lautrek.com
Format: Full URL including protocol (https://)

Request Timeout

Maximum time to wait for server responses.

Setting: timeout
Default: 30 seconds
Range: 5-120 seconds
Note: Complex operations may need longer timeouts

Performance Settings

Auto-Recompute

Automatically recompute the document after each operation.

Setting: auto_recompute
Default: Enabled
When to disable: Working with complex models where recompute is slow

If disabled, manually recompute with F5 or Edit → Refresh

Operation History

Number of operations to keep in the undo history.

Setting: history_limit
Default: 50 operations
Range: 10-500 operations
Note: Higher values use more memory

Batch Operations

Allow batching multiple operations into a single transaction.

Setting: enable_batching
Default: Enabled
Benefit: Faster execution for sequences of operations

Display Settings

Show Operation Feedback

Display visual feedback when operations complete.

Setting: show_feedback
Default: Enabled
Options: Toast notifications, status bar, or disabled

Highlight Created Objects

Automatically select and highlight newly created objects.

Setting: highlight_new
Default: Enabled
Duration: 3 seconds (configurable)

Viewport Auto-Fit

Automatically adjust viewport to show new objects.

Setting: auto_fit_view
Default: Disabled
Note: Can be disorienting with frequent operations

Units and Precision

Default Units

The unit system used when no unit is specified.

Setting: default_units
Default: Millimeters (mm)
Options: mm, cm, m, in, ft
Note: You can always specify units explicitly (e.g., "50mm" or "2 inches")

Decimal Precision

Number of decimal places for dimension display.

Setting: precision
Default: 2 decimal places
Range: 0-6 decimal places

Tolerance

Geometric tolerance for operations like face selection.

Setting: tolerance
Default: 0.01mm
Note: Smaller values are more precise but may fail on complex geometry

AI Integration

Enable Context Hints

Provide the AI with context about your current document state.

Setting: enable_hints
Default: Enabled
Benefit: More accurate AI responses based on existing geometry
Privacy: Only sends object counts and types, not actual geometry

Operation Confirmation

Require confirmation before executing operations.

Setting: require_confirmation
Default: Disabled
Options: Never, Destructive only, or Always
Note: "Destructive" includes delete, cut, and boolean subtract operations

Advanced Settings

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting.

Setting: debug_mode
Default: Disabled
Output: FreeCAD Python console or Fusion 360 debug panel
Note: May impact performance

Custom Headers

Add custom HTTP headers to API requests (advanced users only).

Setting: custom_headers
Format: JSON object (e.g., {"X-Custom": "value"})
Use case: Corporate proxy authentication

Telemetry

Share anonymous usage data to help improve Conjure.

Setting: telemetry_enabled
Default: Enabled
Data collected: Operation types, error rates, adapter version
Privacy: No geometry or personal data is sent

Configuration File

Settings are stored in a configuration file that you can edit directly if needed:

File Locations

Linux: ~/.config/conjure/config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Conjure/config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Conjure\config.json

Example Configuration

{
  "api_key": "cj_xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "server_url": "https://api.conjure.lautrek.com",
  "timeout": 30,
  "auto_recompute": true,
  "default_units": "mm",
  "precision": 2,
  "show_feedback": true,
  "highlight_new": true,
  "enable_hints": true,
  "debug_mode": false
}

Warning: Manually editing the config file requires restarting your CAD software. Always validate JSON syntax to avoid errors.

Resetting Settings

To reset all settings to defaults:

Close your CAD software
Delete or rename the configuration file (see locations above)
Restart your CAD software
Reconnect with your API key

Alternatively, use the Reset to Defaults button in the settings panel.
