AutoCAD Mechanical

Build practical knowledge of AutoCAD Mechanical’s essential tools through exercises aimed at making mechanical design work more efficient.

Create and edit geometry, generate bills of materials and mechanical components, and perform design calculations using the software’s specialist features.

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the main interface elements, their setup, and what Help information is available and to create and use drawing template files.
  • Describe the object property management system, where layers are configured, and the tools for manipulating layers.
  • Organizing drawing geometry and create Mechanical structure in a drawing.
  • Describe the core mechanical design tools of rectangle, hatch, fillet, chamfer, holes, slots, and threads and how to use them to create and modify geometry in your drawings.
  • Modify and edit drawing objects by creating multiple offset copies, scale them, or use a power command.
  • Insert industry standard parts into your assembly designs.
  • Create production-ready drawings in model space, and layouts of structured and non-structured geometry, and insert title blocks and borders.
  • Notate a drawing through the creation and editing of dimensions, hole, charts, fits lists, and mechanical symbols.
  • Explain how to create and edit a bill of materials, parts list, and balloons.
  • Describe the tools used to verify the standard or custom parts within your design.
  • Exchange data between CAD systems and create Mechanical drawings using Model Documentation.
  • Create a custom drafting standard and drawing template with layers, object properties, symbols, text, BOM, parts list, balloons, and other annotation tools.
