Selecting objects and regions
Point Cizgen at exactly what you mean — pick objects when it asks, or attach a region of the drawing to your message.
Often the fastest way to get a precise result is to show Cizgen what you mean instead of describing it. There are two ways to do that.
When Cizgen asks you to select
If a task needs specific objects or a location, Cizgen pauses and shows a highlighted, pulsing card — a clear sign the run is waiting on you, not stuck.
Start the selection
The card offers to select an object, multiple objects, or an area. Click the one you need. The panel shows "Selecting in AutoCAD…" and hands control to the drawing.
Pick in the drawing
Pick the object(s) in AutoCAD, or drag a box for an area, exactly as you normally would.
Confirm
The card shows what you picked (for example, 3 selected or Area selected). Click OK to send it, or Change to pick again.
Cizgen then continues the task with precisely the objects or area you chose.
Attaching a region to your message
You can also point at an area before you send a message, so Cizgen knows where to look from the start.
- Click the + button next to the prompt box and choose to add a region.
- Rubber-band a box on the AutoCAD canvas.
- The region appears as a small chip above the prompt box. Add more than one if you like, or remove one with its ×. Click a chip to zoom the drawing to that region.
- Type your message and send — the attached regions go with it.
Attached regions are one-shot: they are sent with that message and then cleared. Attach fresh regions for the next message if you need them.
Answering the assistant's questions
Sometimes Cizgen needs a decision rather than a selection. It will ask right in the chat:
- Pick an option — it offers buttons to choose from.
- Answer a question — it gives you a box to type a short answer.
These pauses, like selection and approval, are shown clearly so it's always obvious when the run is waiting on you.
