 AutoCAD Mechanical

AutoCAD® Mechanical software is AutoCAD® for manufacturing—purpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design process while preserving the AutoCAD user experience. With comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common design tasks, it offers significant productivity gains over basic AutoCAD software and saves countless hours of design time.

Facing these issues?

  • Your current 2D software is limiting your productivity?
  • Outdated design practices are creating hours of manual rework
  • Design errors and incorrect BOMs and parts lists are keeping products from shipping on time
  • Updating existing drawings is costing your company valuable time
  • Inconsistent use of drafting standards is slowing down your production team
  • Inability to find and reuse designs is forcing your design team to create too many new designs

What's New

Associative Hide for Blocks
The Associative Hide support for blocks gives AutoCAD Mechanical designers a powerful advantage over drafters using standard AutoCAD by providing a complete interface for both structure and non-structure hide situations.

 

Mechanical Layer Manager
The Layer Manager provides a familiar AutoCAD-style interface that enables users to convert existing AutoCAD layers to AutoCAD Mechanical specific layers, edit layer settings, and configure mechanical layer def­initions.

 

Object Property Settings
Increase your control over compound mechanical objects and work more efficiently with the enhanced Object Property Settings dialog.

 

Standard Part Favorites
With drag-and-drop editing, detailed visuals, and easy sharing, the convenient Standard Part Favorites feature can significantly reduce the time required to insert standard parts and features into a drawing.

 

Symbol Libraries
The symbol library functionality has been revised to enhance visibility, capa­bility, and usability, so that the behavior of symbol libraries is consistent across all annotation features.

 

Features

 

  • Interoperability & Collaboration
    The intelligent file formats in AutoCAD Mechanical software and tight integration with Autodesk® manufacturing products enable workgroups to share accurate design information reliably and securely.
  • Error Checking & Prevention
    AutoCAD® Mechanical software helps designers catch errors before they cause costly delays.
  • Design & Drafting Productivity Tools
    Built to save time, AutoCAD Mechanical has a specific tool for almost every aspect of the mechanical design process.
  • Data Management & Reporting Tools
    AutoCAD Mechanical software allows workgroups to organize and manage design data and provide accurate reports to downstream users. It automatically updates the bill of materials (BOM) and includes tools to seamlessly track changes.
  • Machinery Generators & Calculators
    AutoCAD Mechanical software accelerates the design process and improves accuracy with a comprehensive collection of automated machinery generators and calculators that enable users to instantly create and analyze a wide variety of common components.
  • Standards-Based Drafting & Part Libraries
    Produce accurate designs with a comprehensive set of standards-based components. AutoCAD Mechanical supports libraries of more than 700,000 standard parts.
  • Communicate & Manage Design Data
    Provide accurate bill of materials (BOM) information to manufacturing and keep your teams on schedule by reducing costly stops in production.
  • Increase Drafting Productivity
    Powerful, purpose-built tools save you time and effort while ensuring your designs are more accurate.
  • Reduce Errors in Design
    Parts libraries and support for local and international drafting standards enable the creation of consistent design requirements in drawings.
  • Reduce Complex or Repetitive Tasks
    Reduce complex and repetitive tasks by using a simplified drafting environment for manufacturing.
