Design and Drafting Productivity Tools
Mechanical Drawing Toolbar
Create drawings more accurately with purpose-
built tools. AutoCAD Mechanical provides options
beyond those in basic AutoCAD software for
drawing creation, including more than 30 options
for creating rectangles, arcs, and lines; specialty
lines for breakout views and section lines; and
mechanical centerlines and hatching additions.

2D Hide
Reduce drafting effort with automatically gener-
ated hidden lines that update to reflect drawing
revisions. Perform 2D hidden-line calculations
based on user-defined foreground and background
selections that update automatically. These selec-
tions automatically redraw geometry, reducing
the tedious manual task of trimming and chang-
ing properties of lines in AutoCAD. The 2D hide
feature also warns users of potential geometrical
errors and provides a graphical workflow that is
easy to learn and use.

Workspaces
Quickly customize toolbars and settings with the
Workspaces toolbar, which offers a pull-down
menu where designers can easily store and access
different user-interface setups. Several prebuilt
workspaces ship with the product, including the
classic AutoCAD workspace as well as workspaces
that make it easier to learn AutoCAD Mechanical.

Power Dimensions
Quickly change, edit, or delete dimensions, saving
significant time and effort. AutoCAD Mechanical
makes AutoCAD dimensions easier to use with
abbreviated dialog boxes that conveniently control
and expand only the variables relevant for manu-
facturing. With automatic dimensioning, users can
create multiple dimensions with minimal input,
resulting in instant groups of ordinate, parallel, or
symmetric items that are appropriately spaced.
Smart dimensioning tools force overlapping
dimensions to automatically space themselves ap-
propriately while integrating tolerance and fit list
information into the drawing. Inspection dimen-
sions enable users to specify testing criteria.
