AutoCAD Mechanical is the best tool for creating mechanical designs in 2D. It brings a variety of tools and functions for engineering design. Compared to drawing in standalone AutoCAD, it significantly increases the efficiency of designing.
During practical verification, it was found that designing in AutoCAD Mechanical is more than 55% more efficient than in standalone AutoCAD. Of course, it depends on the knowledge of the software and the training that the users have received.
Why use AutoCAD Mechanical?
It is the most complex CAD system for creating 2D documentation.
Thanks to specialized drawing tools, the resulting documentation is completely in line with technical standards.
Databases of standardized parts and semi-finished products speed up the work of creating documentation.
Correct dimensioning of structures is supported by engineering calculations and part generators.
Associative drawing documentation can be created based on 3D models from various CAD systems.
AutoCAD Mechanical properties
- More than 700 standardized parts and elements, support for many national and international standards
- Generators and calculators for the design of machine parts
- A library of custom components and elements and their publishing
- Support for automated creation of BOMs and schedules
- Smart dimensioning and other engineering tools and markings
- Possibility of creating documentation from Inventor models and other 3D CAD systems
It is available as part of an AutoCAD license , including specialized toolsets and web and mobile apps, and as part of some industry suites, such as the Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.
