Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is an expert-level task that relies on long-horizon reasoning and coherent modeling actions. Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable advancements in enabling language agents to tackle real-world tasks. Notably, there has been no investigation into how tool-using LLMs optimally interact with CAD engines, hindering the emergence of LLM-based agentic text-to-CAD modeling systems. We propose ToolCAD, a novel agentic CAD framework deploying LLMs as tool-using agents for text-to-CAD generation. Furthermore, we introduce an interactive CAD modeling gym to rollout reasoning and tool-augmented interaction trajectories with the CAD engine, incorporating hybrid feedback and human supervision. Meanwhile, an end-to-end post-training strategy is presented to enable the LLM agent to elicit refined CAD Modeling Chain of Thought (CAD-CoT) and evolve into proficient CAD tool-using agents via online curriculum reinforcement learning. Our findings demonstrate ToolCAD fills the gap in adopting and training open-source LLMs for CAD tool-using agents, enabling them to perform comparably to proprietary models, paving the way for more accessible and robust autonomous text-to-CAD modeling systems.
