Discover 37 Essential AutoCAD Tips from Hagerman & Company

What is AutoCAD Mechanical?

AutoCAD Mechanical is a toolset for mechanical drafting and design that's included with Autodesk AutoCAD. It adds a library of more than 700,000 standard parts and features, plus tools that automate mechanical drawing tasks like layers, dimensions, hole charts, and bills of materials.

It's built for mechanical engineers, designers, and drafters who create 2D manufacturing drawings in AutoCAD, and it supports ISO, ANSI, DIN, JIS, BSI, CSN, and GB drafting standards. Autodesk reports productivity gains of up to 55% on common mechanical design tasks with the toolset.

I have had so many classes over the years it's hard to recall all of them. Gary is unbelievably talented at speaking and ensuring all of us clearly understood and could replicate what was being taught. I'm sure you understand what an amazing employee you have on your hands.
