178+ ## RPC Server Mode
179+
180+ For GUI tools or external scripts that need to communicate with CAD applications, each adapter provides an RPC server/client pair.
181+
182+ ### Starting Servers
183+
184+ ** FreeCAD** (run in FreeCAD's Python console):
185+ ``` python
186+ from morphe.adapters.freecad import start_server
187+ start_server() # localhost:9876
188+ ```
189+
190+ ** Fusion 360** (install the MorpheServer add-in from ` morphe/adapters/fusion/addin/MorpheServer/ ` ):
191+ ``` bash
192+ cd morphe/adapters/fusion/addin
193+ python setup_addin.py install
194+ ```
195+ The server starts automatically when Fusion 360 launches (localhost:9879).
196+
197+ ** SolidWorks** (run with SolidWorks open):
198+ ``` python
199+ from morphe.adapters.solidworks import start_server
200+ start_server() # localhost:9878
201+ ```
202+
203+ ** Inventor** (run with Inventor open):
204+ ``` python
205+ from morphe.adapters.inventor import start_server
206+ start_server() # localhost:9877
207+ ```
208+
209+ ### Using Clients
210+
211+ All clients share the same interface:
212+
213+ ``` python
214+ from morphe.adapters.freecad import FreeCADClient
215+ # or: from morphe.adapters.fusion import FusionClient
216+ # or: from morphe.adapters.solidworks import SolidWorksClient
217+ # or: from morphe.adapters.inventor import InventorClient
218+
219+ client = FreeCADClient()
220+ if client.connect():
221+ # List available sketches
222+ sketches = client.list_sketches()
223+
224+ # Export a sketch to canonical format
225+ sketch = client.export_sketch(" Sketch" )
226+
227+ # Import a sketch into the CAD application
228+ client.import_sketch(my_sketch, name = " NewSketch" )
229+
230+ # Get solver status
231+ status, dof = client.get_solver_status(" Sketch" )
232+ ```
