Autodesk Inventor
Create digital prototypes with the world's best-selling 3D mechanical design
software.

AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical includes all the features and functionality of AutoCAD software plus an extra set of tools that simplify mechanical design and drafting.
A faster way to create and modify designs
To accelerate the design process, AutoCAD Mechanical automates many common tasks, such as generating mechanical components, dimensioning and creating bills of materials. Purpose-built for manufacturing, the software has a library of more than 700,000 standard parts. It also makes it easy for drafters to detail and document digital prototypes created in Autodesk Inventor.
What's new in AutoCAD Mechanical 2010
Moving from AutoCAD?
AutoCAD Mechanical design and drafting software offers significant productivity gains over basic AutoCAD by:
- automating common tasks
- simplifying complex mechanical design work
- preserving the AutoCAD user experience
Designers can maintain their existing AutoCAD workflows, while adopting the enhanced functionality of AutoCAD Mechanical at their own pace. Making the move to AutoCAD Mechanical has never been easier.
