Learn how creating mechanical designs with AutoCAD® Mechanical software will give you a competitive edge by saving you countless hours of design and rework—so you can spend time innovating rather than managing workflow issues.

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.

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.

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.

Design & Drafting Productivity Tools

Built to save time, AutoCAD Mechanical has a specific tool for almost every aspect of the mechanical design process.

Error Checking & Prevention

AutoCAD® Mechanical software helps designers catch errors before they cause costly delays.

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.
