[Workaccount2]

I used Claude 3.7 last night to write a program for building tooling code from legacy manufacturing files for cnc and electronics manufacturing. Basically it renders the old files visually (they are sorta like SVGs) and then a human can click through them to create the necessary measurements, which the program then indexes and stores for the user. It has a nice GUI with buttons, highlights your selections, graphically demarcates previous measurements, and shows a running list of calculated outputs based on your selections, which you can delete if incorrect. Then you click export it exports it in the correct modern Place File structure. Totally knocked my socks and feet off too.

There are no programs online which do this (lots of viewers, but not interpreters/converters), and I actually had gotten a quote for proprietary software that can do it, but is $1k/yr to use.

I _did not_ think claude would be able to do it, but thought I would give it a shot. It took 3 prompts to get to 95% of the way there. The last 5% was done by o3mini because Claude ran out of capacity for me.
