AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD® Mechanical is AutoCAD® software for manufacturing, purpose-built to accelerate the mechanical design process.
It includes all the functionality of AutoCAD, a world leader in CAD software, plus a comprehensive set of tools for automating mechanical engineering tasks, such as generating machine components, dimensioning, and creating bills of material.
AutoCAD Mechanical provides a library of more than 700,000 standard parts, supports multiple international design standards, and enables users to detail and document digital prototypes created in Autodesk® Inventor® software.

AutoCAD Mechanical offers engineers a competitive edge by helping save hours of effort, so they can spend time innovating rather than drafting.

Powerful and Smart Dimensions
With the streamlined tools in AutoCAD Mechanical, you can create dimensions using abbreviated dialog boxes that conveniently control and expand only the relevant variables for manufacturing. With automatic dimensioning, you can create multiple dimensions with minimal input, resulting in instant groups of ordinate, parallel, or symmetric items that are appropriately spaced. Smart dimensioning tools force overlapping dimensions to automatically space themselves appropriately while integrating tolerance and fit list information into the design. Dimension input can even drive and change design geometry to fit certain sizes.

Support for International Drafting Standards
Multiply your productivity with tools that help you and your team deliver consistent, standards-based design documentation. AutoCAD Mechanical software supports ANSI, BSI, CSN, DIN, GB, ISO, JIS, and GOST drafting environments. Adhering to a standard environment improves team communication and helps drive consistent production results. AutoCAD Mechanical also includes drafting tools for creating standards-based surface texture symbols, geometric dimensioning and tolerances, datum identifiers and targets, notes, taper and slope symbols, and weld symbols.

Layer Management
The intelligent layer management system in AutoCAD Mechanical automatically places items on the correct layer, colour, and line type as you create your drawing. And, the software can be easily customized based on your company requirements.

Machinery Generators and Calculators
If you are building mechanisms from paper catalogs and manual calculations, the comprehensive machinery generator and calculator tools can be a huge time-saver. Built into the application environment, these tools are extremely helpful when making small, iterative changes to improve your design. They not only create parts according to your specifications, but they also create all there ports and calculations you need to analyse the design. AutoCAD Mechanical includes shaft, spring, belt, chain, and cam generators.
