﻿MightyCad for SOLIDWORKS 0.6.26 - no-administrator edition
========================================================
Your AI engineer inside SOLIDWORKS

This edition needs NO administrator rights and makes no system changes. Instead of installing
into SOLIDWORKS, it runs as its own window beside SOLIDWORKS and controls it the same way.

Requirements: Windows 10/11 64-bit, SOLIDWORKS 2022 or newer, a license key, and API keys
for the providers selected in Settings (Anthropic, OpenAI and/or Google Gemini).

1. Unzip this folder somewhere you can write to (e.g. Documents). Keep all files together.
2. Double-click "MightyCad for SOLIDWORKS.exe".
   If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC": click "More info" > "Run anyway".
   (Optional) run "Create shortcuts.cmd" for Start-menu and desktop shortcuts.
3. Start SOLIDWORKS (or click "Start SOLIDWORKS" in the assistant window). The window shows
   "Connected to SOLIDWORKS" once it has attached.
4. Activate: enter your e-mail and license key.
   (Licenses are checked against https://solidworks-licenses.reportil.com - nothing to configure.)
5. Gear icon > enter your Anthropic, OpenAI and/or Gemini API keys > Save.
   Automatic triage reviews results and escalates failed work within configurable limits.
   Fixed role combinations switch to manual routing. Link your local drawing reference catalogue
   in Settings; private drawing PDFs and engineering knowledge are not included in this package.
   Every provider used by the selected roles needs its own key. Existing model choices are preserved.
   Start a new MightyCad chat after upgrading to use the current workflow and tool catalogue.

Tips
 - "On top" keeps the assistant beside SOLIDWORKS; resize/move the window as you like.
 - Close the assistant window when you are done; your settings are kept.
 - If SOLIDWORKS also has the "MightyCad" add-in installed, use that instead (only one can run).
 - Uninstall: delete this folder and the shortcuts. Settings live in %APPDATA%\SwAssistant.
