AutoCAD Mechanical 2012

Features:

The powerful features in AutoCAD Mechanical design and drafting software help to automate common design tasks, facilitate increased drafting productivity and offer mechanical engineers a competitive edge. AutoCAD Mechanical includes all the functionality of AutoCAD software, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common mechanical CAD tasks.

The Standard in 2D Mechanical Design
With comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts, and tools for automating common design tasks, AutoCAD Mechanical software accelerates the mechanical design process. AutoCAD Mechanical provides innovative design and drafting tools that are wholly focused on ease of use for the AutoCAD user.

Maximise Your Productivity
Creating mechanical designs often requires spending valuable time on manual workarounds to get the job done. Since AutoCAD Mechanical provides a simplified drafting environment for manufacturing and automates many manual tasks, it improves the design experience and offers immediate efficiency gains. AutoCAD Mechanical delivers high-impact productivity tools to AutoCAD users who are performing updates and iterative design changes, reducing the amount of re-work associated with these tasks.

Reduce Errors and Inconsistencies
When creating mechanical drawings, designers can sometimes inadvertently introduce errors and design inconsistencies, wasting time and money. AutoCAD Mechanical includes libraries of more than 700,000 standard parts and supports international drafting standards, enabling users to meet design requirements in the global marketplace consistently. AutoCAD Mechanical also enables detailers to document native Autodesk Inventor models in the familiar AutoCAD drafting environment.

Manage Design Data More Effectively
Once a design is complete, it is important to share accurate design and part information with the teams responsible for ordering and manufacturing the product. Using software that is not purposebuilt for these tasks often means creating crucial parts lists and BOMs by hand. With manual methods, even the smallest design change can introduce errors,
resulting in delivery delays to the customer.

To help your company prevent errors and costly delays, AutoCAD Mechanical is tightly integrated with Autodesk Data Management applications, enabling the efficient and secure exchange of design data and promoting earlier collaboration between design and manufacturing workgroups.
