Writing effective prompts
Get better results from Cizgen with clear, specific requests that point at the right objects and state what "done" looks like.
Cizgen is good at figuring out intent, but the clearer your request, the better and faster the result. A few habits make a big difference.
Be specific
State the exact geometry, quantities, and location.
| Instead of… | Try… |
|---|---|
| Add a line | Draw a horizontal line 1200 long from the top-right corner of the selected object |
| Clean up the text | Move every text label onto the A-ANNO-TEXT layer |
| Add some dimensions | Add a linear dimension along the top edge of the selected rectangle |
Point at what you mean
Don't make Cizgen guess which objects. Either attach a region to your message or let it ask you to select objects. See Selecting objects and regions.
Say what "done" looks like
If there's a clear success condition, include it: "…so that every room has exactly one label." Cizgen can then check its own work against it. See Verifying results.
One goal per request
Break a big job into steps. Cizgen keeps full context across the conversation, so it's better to run several focused requests than one sprawling one. You can always say "now do the same on the left side."
Bring your standards
If the task should follow your conventions, mention a skill:
Lay out the grid following /our-grid-standard.
See Using skills.
If a result isn't what you wanted, you don't have to start over — reject the preview and refine your request. The conversation continues with everything Cizgen already learned.
Inspection standards
Turn a plain-language standard or checklist into a reusable, automatic drawing check — and get a pass/fail report you can save and share.
Drawing and editing
What Cizgen can create and change — geometry, text, hatches, dimensions, and blocks — all staged as a preview for your approval.
