The 2023 Mechanical toolset is included with AutoCAD

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

Save time with commands that create mechanical layers – so you don’t have to do it manually.

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

Get more work done in less time. Use abbreviated dialogue boxes to set preferences for power dimension commands for the current standard.

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

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

Customise 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 optimise your configuration.

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

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