Tutorial and Study Auto CAD Mechanical Specific Tool Design

Standards-Based Drafting and Part Libraries

1. Standard Parts, Features, and Holes
Produce accurate designs faster with standardsbased parts from the libraries in AutoCAD Mechanical, saving hours of design time. Auto CAD Mechanical contains more than 700,000 parts such as screws, nuts, washers, pins, rivets, and bushings. It also includes 100,000 predrawn features such as undercuts, keyways, and thread ends. Auto CAD Mechanical also contains more than 8,000 predrawn holes, including through, blind, and oblong holes. When users incorporate these features into a design, Auto CAD Mechanical automatically cleans up the insertion area, reducing the need for manual edits.

 2. Standards-Based Design
Multiply productivity with tools that help users deliver consistent, standards-based design documentation. Auto CAD Mechanical supports ANSI, BSI, CSN, DIN, GB, ISO, and JIS drafting environments. Using standards based drafting environments helps groups of users maintain a common form of communication.

 3. Standard Part Favorites
Customize AutoCAD Mechanical to fit your workflow. Users can now save frequently used parts as
favorites, where they can be accessed quickly for easy reuse.

 4. Part Publishing
Save time and maintain consistency across projects by enabling users to easily leverage their existing
part designs. Part publishing offers the capability to add new part families to the library.

5. Screw Connections
Automate the creation and management of screw connections with this easy-to-use graphical interface
that supplies thousands of connection options, while helping users choose the best parts for their design. Create, copy, and edit entire fastener assemblies at one time. Pick the desired type of screw, corresponding
washers, and type of nut. Appropriate sizes for nuts, washers, and holes are presented depending on the screw selected and material thickness. The hole is added to the part where specified, and the entire fastener assembly is inserted into the hole. All inserted parts are instantly captured by the bill of materials (BOM).

  
6. 2d Structural Steel Shapes
Create designs more quickly and accurately using predrawn geometry. Auto CAD Mechanical contains
more than 11,000 predrawn standard structural steel shapes that users can incorporate quickly into any design. These include common structural shapes such as U-shape, I-shape, T-shape, L-shape, Z-shape, rectangular tube, round tube, rectangular full beam, and rectangular round beam.

7. Annotation Symbols and Notes
Save time and increase accuracy by using standards-based mechanical symbols and notes. Auto CAD 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.

8. Title and Revision Blocks
Quickly generate drawings with uniform, precreated title and revision blocks. AutoCAD Mechanical includes a full set of configurable title and revision blocks in both English and metric units. Users can easily customize these blocks with company-specific information.
