Hestus

What it does

Hestus is an in-CAD assistant for sketching, currently advertised as available for Autodesk Fusion on Mac and Windows. It observes a sketch as it is drawn and offers suggested operations; the user can cycle through suggestions, accept one with a keypress, or ignore it and continue drawing. The examples show it suggesting centerlines for a rectangle and mirroring circles with symmetry constraints.

The workflow is aimed at CAD users, including engineers and product designers, who want help applying sketch operations without describing them in text. Hestus says it runs inside the CAD application, without exporting or transferring part files. The website links to a download and says “Try it for free,” but does not specify pricing, whether free access recurs, or the requirements for installation. SolidWorks is presented separately with a signup for an alpha release, so its availability should not be assumed to match the Fusion offering.
