You install one AutoCAD plugin on each workstation where an agent will work, then add one line of configuration to your MCP client. Setup takes about ten minutes.

​
Requirements

  • Windows.
  • AutoCAD or AutoCAD Plant 3D 2027.
  • A PlantEngineer for AutoCAD seat for each designer, assigned by your company’s PlantEngineer administrator.
  • Internet access from the workstation to your company’s PlantEngineer address.

Get the installer

During a pilot, PlantEngineer provides the installer and sets it up with your team on an install call. Try it now to start a pilot.

​
After installing

Start AutoCAD and open a drawing. The server starts with AutoCAD, so your MCP client can only reach it while AutoCAD is running. Then sign in once: click Sign in on the PlantEngineer ribbon tab, or run PLNT.LOGIN. Enter your company’s PlantEngineer address, sign in with your work account in the browser that opens, and return to AutoCAD. AutoCAD remembers the sign-in. Until you sign in, and while you have no seat, the MCP client gets a message explaining what to do instead of a result. IT can prefill the address for every workstation by installing with msiexec /i PlantEngineer.AutoCAD.msi PLNTADDRESS=<your address>. Next, connect your client.
