Compatibility
CRAFT runs as a local add-in inside your CAD host application. This page lists supported hosts, platforms, and version baselines.
The Preview/Validate Gate checks host and runtime conditions before every operation. If the current host version, available APIs, or required context fields do not meet the automation's requirements, the Gate blocks execution and reports the specific incompatibility.
Supported CAD Hosts
| Host | Baseline Version | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autodesk Civil 3D | 2024+ | Supported | Alignments, corridors, surfaces, model elements, and drawing-level operations. Additional object types are being added. |
| Autodesk Revit | 2024+ | Supported | Families, parameters, views, sheets, schedules, model categories, and project-level operations. |
Version baselines indicate the minimum tested and supported release. Newer versions within the same product line are expected to work but should be validated through the Gate before production use.
Host Adapter Architecture
Each supported host has a dedicated adapter that translates CRAFT operations into host-native API calls. This architecture means:
Host-Aware Automations
Automations declare their required host, API surface, and context fields. The Gate validates these requirements against the actual runtime environment before execution.
Runtime Validation
Rather than relying on static compatibility lists, the Gate inspects the running host to confirm that required APIs, object types, and context fields are actually available. If they are not, execution is blocked.
System Requirements
- Operating System
- Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)
- Runtime
- .NET 8.0 or later
- Network
- Required for initial activation, license refresh (every 7 days), and artifact registry access. Not required for local automation execution.
- Disk Space
- Minimal. The CRAFT add-in is lightweight; automation artifacts are small signed zip files.
- CAD Host
- A supported version of Autodesk Civil 3D or Autodesk Revit must be installed and licensed independently.
System requirements may vary by host version. Consult host-specific documentation for that product's own system requirements.
Additional Hosts
CRAFT's adapter architecture is designed to support multiple CAD hosts. Additional host integrations are under development. We do not announce unconfirmed support — new hosts will be listed here when they reach baseline validation.
