AutoCAD Mechanical Fundamentals

The AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset (called Mechanical Desktop in older versions), is an extension to the AutoCAD base program. All subscription versions of AutoCAD 2019 and greater can download and use this package for free.

The Mechanical Toolset adds a large number of new “smart” objects that can be used to design and manage a mechanical project. It makes creating even some of the most complex mechanical designs simple to document. Designing things like chains, shaft parts, and bill of materials are easy and efficient. With expanded mechanical calculations, it’s a must have toolset for mechanical projects.
