通过拆解设计需求提升CAD代码生成效果

Large language models~(LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in code generation, yet their performance remains limited on domain-specific tasks such as Computer-Aided Design~(CAD) code generation, largely due to the scarcity of high-quality training data. In-Context Learning~(ICL) provides a training-free alternative by prompting LLMs with task-specific exemplars, but its effectiveness critically depends on how exemplars are selected. Existing selection strategies mainly rely on similarity or point-wise diversity, often overlooking the compositional nature of CAD design specifications, where a query may involve multiple functional requirements, geometric constraints, and design primitives. As a result, selected exemplars can be individually relevant but collectively redundant, providing insufficient coverage for complex design requirements. In this work, we propose \emph{knowledge sufficiency} as a principled objective for exemplar selection, aiming to select a compact set of exemplars that maximally satisfies the requirements contained in a target design specification. To instantiate this objective, we introduce \emph{Design-Specification Tiling~(DST)}, which estimates knowledge sufficiency through a surrogate tiling ratio by decomposing design specifications into multi-granular components and measuring the proportion of query components covered by selected exemplars. We further show that optimizing this objective can be formulated as a submodular maximization problem, and develop a polynomial-time greedy algorithm tailored to this setting with a $(1-1/e)$-approximation guarantee. Extensive experiments across multiple LLMs demonstrate that DST substantially improves CAD code generation quality and consistently outperforms existing ICL exemplar selection strategies, highlighting the importance of requirement-level knowledge coverage for domain-specific code generation.
