Hestus

Autocomplete for CAD.

Visit Hestus

Hestus is an AI copilot for Autodesk Fusion that works inside the sketch environment. It reads the sketch as the user draws and suggests constraints, dimensions, construction lines and cleanup operations, reducing the manual clicking involved in preparing a sketch for design or manufacturing.

The tool can cycle through multiple suggestions and accept one with a keystroke, or be ignored. Concrete examples include adding centerlines to a rectangle, mirroring circles with symmetry constraints, and handling dangling points. It runs on Mac and Windows, with a SolidWorks alpha release listed separately. The product is offered as a free trial, with no pricing details provided on the page.
