Facing these issues?
• Productivity is limited by software that
is not built specifically for mechanical
design.
• Frequent design changes are creating
hours of manual rework.
• Design errors and incorrect bills of
materials (BOMs) and parts lists are
keeping products from shipping on time.
• Updating existing drawings is costing your
company valuable time.
• Inconsistent use of drafting standards is
slowing down shop-floor production.
• Inability to find and reuse designs is
forcing your teams to create too many
drawings from scratch.
Discover why so many designers
and drafters are switching to
AutoCAD Mechanical.
The AutoCAD Mechanical Advantage
The Standard in 2D Mechanical Design
With comprehensive libraries of standards-based
parts, and tools for automating common design
tasks, AutoCAD
®
Mechanical software acceler-
ates the mechanical design process. AutoCAD
Mechanical provides innovative design and drafting
tools that are wholly focused on ease of use for the
AutoCAD user. Keeping the AutoCAD user experi-
ence intact enables designers to maintain their
existing workflows while adopting the enhanced
functionality of AutoCAD Mechanical at their own
pace. Designers gain a competitive edge by saving
countless hours of design and rework, so they can
spend time innovating rather than managing work-
flow issues.
To compete and win in today’s design marketplace, engineers
need to create and revise mechanical drawings faster than
ever before. AutoCAD
®
Mechanical is AutoCAD
®
software for
manufacturing, offering significant productivity gains over
standard AutoCAD
®
by simplifying complex mechanical design
work.
Maximize Your Productivity
Creating mechanical designs often requires spend-
ing valuable time on manual workarounds to get the
job done. Since AutoCAD Mechanical provides a
simplified drafting environment for manufacturing
and automates many manual tasks, it improves the
design experience and offers immediate efficiency
gains. AutoCAD Mechanical delivers high-impact
productivity tools to AutoCAD users who are
performing updates and iterative design changes,
reducing the amount of rework associated with
these tasks. In addition, powerful dimensioning
tools make adding, deleting, and editing dimen-
sions fast and easy. Built to save you time, AutoCAD
Mechanical has a specific tool for almost every
aspect of the mechanical drafting process.
