Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical 2025

Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical Overview

Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical is a powerful extension to standard design and 2D drafting software with specialist functionality for the manufacturing, engineering, and mechanical design sectors and companies involved in digital prototyping workflows.

Up to 65% productivity increases over 2D CAD software enable clients to deliver projects in much shorter timeframes than possible with standard AutoCAD, thereby reducing project costs and improving profitability.

AutoCAD Mechanical’s robust mechanical design and limited engineering toolset simplify and accelerate the design process. It includes a library of over 700,000 mechanical parts and components, machinery generators, and calculators. The tool also includes Autodesk Inventor Fusion, which allows the intelligent re-use and direct manipulation of a range of 3D file formats.

Further productivity gains are made with its extended drafting capabilities, which include intelligent layer management, automated hidden line functionality, power dimensioning tools, and additional mechanically biased drawing tools. These make this mechanical CAD software solution a must-have for mechanical design and engineering professionals wishing to stay within a predominantly 2D workflow.
