Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical 2010

Streamlined Design Environment
AutoCAD Mechanical features a streamlined user interface. Find your favorite tools and commands faster, locate lesser-used tools more efficiently, and discover relevant new features more easily. The result is less time searching through menus and toolbars, and more time getting your work done.

Constraint Manager
Design more intuitively and efficiently by defining parametric constraints instead of manually drafting part geometry. With the constraint manager, you can easily use dynamic constraint relationships such as parallel, tangent, and perpendicular. Once the parameters are defined, the constraint manager automatically updates geometry to maintain accurate relationships as the design changes.

Automatic BOM Extraction
Save time and maintain accurate information when extracting bill of material (BOM) data from authentic DWG™ files. Reuse data and generate accurate BOM reports from DWG files created with earlier versions of AutoCAD or third-party applications. Automatic extraction of both parts lists and title block information frees you from the error-prone process of manually opening and tracing sub-assemblies.

Part Publishing
Leverage existing work and maintain consistency across projects by easily saving and sharing your part designs. With the part publishing feature in AutoCAD Mechanical you can add your custom parts to the existing content library and have a single point of access for easy sharing of your preferred part designs.
