Reduce Errors and Inconsistencies
When creating mechanical drawings, designers
can sometimes inadvertently introduce errors
and design inconsistencies, wasting time and
money. AutoCAD Mechanical includes libraries of
more than 700,000 standard parts and supports
international drafting standards, enabling users to
consistently meet design requirements in the global
marketplace. AutoCAD Mechanical also enables
detailers to document native Autodesk

Inventor
®
models in the familiar AutoCAD drafting environ-
ment. This associative workflow automatically
synchronizes drawings with the 3D model, which
reduces errors and inconsistencies and saves hours
of rework. Clear and consistent communication in
the design and documentation process helps team
members avoid delays and errors on the shop floor,
so your company can stay ahead of the competition.
Manage Design Data More Effectively
Once a design is complete, it is important to share
accurate design and part information with the teams
responsible for ordering and manufacturing the
product. Using software that is not purpose-built for
these tasks often means creating crucial parts lists
and BOMs by hand. With manual methods, even the
smallest design change can introduce errors, result-
ing in delivery delays to the customer.
To help your company prevent errors and costly de-
lays, AutoCAD Mechanical is tightly integrated with
Autodesk Data Management applications, enabling
the efficient and secure exchange of design data and
promoting earlier collaboration between design and
manufacturing workgroups. Different workgroups
can manage and track all components of a digital

software—the all-digital way to review, measure,
mark up, and track changes to designs—allowing
for better reuse of crucial design data, management
of BOMs, and collaboration with other teams and
partners.
