Associative Balloons and Bill of Materials (BOMs)
Create automated and associative part lists and BOMs that are specifically 
developed for manufacturing and that automatically update as the design 
changes. Included is support for multiple parts lists per drawing, collapsible 
assemblies, automatic recognition of standard parts, and customizable options 
so features can be revised to match current company practices. Change a 
design once and updates ripple through the entire drawing to keep everyone 
on schedule, reducing costly stops in production from incorrect part counting, 
identification, and ordering. Export or link BOM data to manufacturing resource 
planning (MRP), enterprise resource planning (ERP), or data management 
systems such as Autodesk

 software. 
Layer Management
The intelligent layer management system in AutoCAD Mechanical automatically 
places items on the correct layer, color, and linetype as you create your 
drawing. And, the software can be easily customized based on your company 
requirements.
Hidden Lines
Ramp up your productivity by defining simple foreground and background 
selections that automatically redraw geometry to show hidden or dashed 
lines of parts that are obstructed by other parts in your design. The hidden 
lines automatically update when changes occur, virtually eliminating the time 
required to manually redraw geometry due to iterative changes. For the first 
time in 2D, identical parts can have different geometrical appearances when in 
hide situations, but AutoCAD Mechanical recognizes that they are still identical 
parts if you need to change the design or get an accurate count for the parts list. 
This means you’ll spend less time and effort updating your 2D designs.
Machinery Generators and Calculators
If you are building mechanisms from paper catalogs and manual calculations,  
the comprehensive machinery generator and calculator tools can be a huge 
time-saver. Built into the application environment, these tools are extremely 
helpful when making small, iterative changes to improve your design. They not 
only create parts according to your specifications, but they also create all of the 
reports and calculations you need to analyze the design. AutoCAD Mechanical 
includes shaft, spring, belt, chain, and cam generators. 
Data Exchange Between CAD Systems
Use AutoCAD Mechanical to detail and document native Autodesk
®
 Inventor™ 
models. Incorporate design revisions quickly and easily through the associative 
link—the software automatically notifies you of changes to the Inventor file and 
regenerates the 2D drawing, including any changes. AutoCAD Mechanical also 
includes the industry-standard IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) 
format for exchanging data between dissimilar CAD systems.
Now Is the Time
Want to get unparalleled productivity out of your 2D mechanical design process? 
Then now is the time to take a look and discover why so many designers and 
drafters are switching to AutoCAD Mechanical. AutoCAD Mechanical provides 
innovative design and drafting tools that are wholly focused on ease of use for 
the AutoCAD user and will help your team save countless hours of design and 
rework.

Support for International Drafting Standards
Multiply your productivity with tools that help you and your team deliver 
consistent, standards-based design documentation. AutoCAD Mechanical 
supports ANSI, BSI, CSN, DIN, GB, ISO, and JIS drafting environments. Adhering 
to a standard environment helps your team maintain a common form of 
communication for consistent production results. AutoCAD Mechanical includes 
drafting tools to create standards-based surface texture symbols, geometric 
dimensioning and tolerances, datum identifiers and targets, notes, taper and 
slope symbols, and weld symbols.
