AutoCAD Mechanical
Advanced software for drawing mechanical parts and creating workshop documentation that guarantees compatibility of original DWG files.

Automatic dimensioning functions enable the creation of multiple dimensions with minimal user input. They allow users to insert pre-defined groups of coordinate, parallel, or symmetrical dimensions, which are positioned automatically in the appropriate layout.

AutoCAD Mechanical includes a collection of standardized parts and elements available for the design process. When inserting these parts, their geometry automatically adapts to existing components, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. AutoCAD Mechanical features libraries with over 700,000 standard parts based on international standards, including:

• Bolts, nuts, washers
• Pins, rivets, bushings
• Plugs, grease fittings, sealing rings
• Bearings and shaft components
• Steel sections, etc.

Save time with AutoCAD Mechanical software by automatically generating documentation for intelligent 3D models created in AutoCAD or Autodesk Inventor. You can also import models from other formats, including SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA, Rhino, and NX applications. Modified views, edge displays, and locations are promptly updated when changes occur.

Create designs more intuitively and efficiently by specifying parametric constraints instead of manually drawing part geometry. With the constraint manager, you can use dynamic constraints such as parallel, tangent, and perpendicular constraints. Once you define the parameters, the constraint manager will automatically update the geometry, maintaining the accuracy of the constraints as you make changes to the design.

You can save time and ensure the accuracy of component listings by extracting information directly from genuine DWG format files. DWG files from earlier versions of AutoCAD or third-party programs allow for easy data reuse or the creation of precise component reports. Automatically extracting component lists and information from drawing tables eliminates the need to open and track components manually, reducing the risk of errors.

You can leverage the work you’ve already done while maintaining design uniformity with easy-to-use part-saving and part-design-sharing features. AutoCAD Mechanical’s publishing feature allows you to add your parts to an existing part library and provides a uniform sharing point for the most commonly used parts. The builder can reuse a part of another project.
