Benefits of the Mechanical toolset

An AutoCAD productivity study

See how the Mechanical toolset provided up to a 55% overall productivity gain* compared with basic AutoCAD, when these tasks were performed by an experienced AutoCAD user.

In this productivity study, you will see how the Mechanical toolset saves time through features including:

  • Intelligent layer management system places items on the correct layer and linetype as the drawing is created.
  • More than 30 options for rectangle, arc, and circle creation.
  • Recognizing identical parts in 2D, even when they’re hidden.
  • More calculation functions for analyzing 2D geometries subject to static loads.

About the study

Autodesk commissioned a study that compared basic AutoCAD to the Mechanical toolset when performing nine tasks commonly used by mechanical engineers.

Results showed that the Mechanical toolset provided over 55% overall productivity gain* compared with basic AutoCAD, when these tasks were performed by an experienced AutoCAD user.
