AutoCAD Mechanical - Power tools for mechanical design
AutoCAD Mechanical 2012 design and drafting software is AutoCAD software for manufacturing. Part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, it includes all the functionality of AutoCAD, one of the world’s leading 2D CAD design software, plus comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts and tools for automating common mechanical CAD tasks and accelerating the mechanical design process. AutoCAD Mechanical design software helps save hours of design time, so you can spend time innovating rather than drafting.
The Standard in 2d Mechanical Design
With comprehensive libraries of standards-based parts, and tools for automating common design tasks, AutoCAD Mechanical software accelerates 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 experience 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 workflow issues.
The AutoCAD Mechanical Advantage
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 spending 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 dimensions fast and easy. Built to save you time, AutoCAD Mechanical has a specific tool for almost every aspect of the mechanical drafting process.
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 environment. 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.
