Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical

The 2023 Mechanical toolset is included with AutoCAD

Discover industry tools for mechanical engineering

700,000+ standard parts and features
Produce accurate drawings with standard components to support ISO, ANSI, DIN, JIS, BSI, CSN, and GB standards. Create and save custom content through the Content Manager, which enables you to add a part or feature to a content library

Customized layer management
Save time with commands that create mechanical layers—so you don’t have to do it manually

Bill of Materials
Use commands to automate mechanical engineering tasks and simplify your work. Gain more control over BOMs, part lists, associative balloons, and part reference

Power and automatic dimensioning
Get more work done in less time. Use abbreviated dialog boxes to set preferences for power dimension commands for the current standard

GD&T symbols/annotations
Pre-configure symbols and save them to the symbol library for reuse. You can also access symbol libraries for welding, surface texture, and more

Leader notes (AMNOTE)
Get the most out of your notes with formulas that automatically apply to an object. Use a template from a predefined set to display meaningful context-sensitive information immediately, instead of having to do it yourself

Drawing border and title blocks
Customize drawing borders and title blocks to work with your system. Each of these items exists as separate .dwg files, which you can copy and modify to optimize your configuration

Drawing detailing
Use intelligent drafting tools made specifically for mechanical design. Boost drawing productivity and efficiency with reusable detailing tools such as Centerline, AMSHIDE, Hole Charts, and Scale Area for Viewports

2D calculations
Combine automatic part creation with drawing automation to get the best value. Efficiently analyze designs and perform 2D calculations such as FEA, Shaft Calc, and Moment of Inertia
