AutoCAD Mechanical is AutoCAD for mechanical design. AutoCAD Mechanical is part of Autodesk Digital Prototyping Technology. The product combines the functionality of AutoCAD - the world's leading 2D CAD system - with the benefits of extensive libraries of standardized components and automation tools that speed up design tasks. AutoCAD Mechanical provides significant time savings for your drafting work, so you can focus more on innovation.

The functionality of AutoCAD Mechanical allows you to automate routine tasks and increase the efficiency of producing working drawings. The use of this CAD gives engineers in the mechanical engineering industry a significant competitive advantage. AutoCAD Mechanical combines the functionality of AutoCAD, the world's leading CAD system, with the benefits of extensive libraries of standardized components and automation tools for today's mechanical design tasks.


New opportunities
- Standard Revision Update for Welding
Symbols Welding Symbols now supports the latest revisions of ISO (ISO 2553:2019) and JIS (JIS Z 3021:2016).
- The
Trace strip provides a secure space to collaborate on drawing changes in the AutoCAD web and mobile apps without the risk of changing an existing drawing. Tracing can be compared to a virtual collaborative tracing that is overlaid on a drawing, allowing participants to provide feedback directly on the drawing.
- Number
Fast and accurate count of the number of instances of objects in the drawing. You can insert a table with quantity data into the current drawing.
- Floating drawing windows
You can now drag a drawing file tab outside the AutoCAD application window to make it a floating window.
- Share current drawing
Share a link to a copy of the current drawing for viewing or editing in the AutoCAD web application. All related xrefs and DWG images are included.
- Upload to Autodesk Docs (subscription resource)
The Upload to Autodesk Docs module allows design teams to use digital PDF files for reference while on site. The Upload to Autodesk Docs module allows you to upload AutoCAD PDF drawings to a specific Autodesk Docs project.
- New Home
Tab Design The Home tab has been redesigned to include a new welcome screen for Autodesk products.
- Preview of 3D Graphics
This release includes a preview of a completely new cross-platform 3D graphics system developed for AutoCAD that takes full advantage of today's GPUs and multi-core processors. It provides additional ease of navigation when working with larger drawings than previous versions.
- Installer
Installing and deploying 2023 software is faster and more reliable.


List of changes made
What has been changed by the author of the assembly:
- The assembly is based on the original Russian and English distributions combined into a single package, from which everything that is not directly related to the installation of the Mechanical add-on has been removed.
- For a modern installer, a solution was developed and implemented for choosing the interface language of the installed program.
- The interface language of the installer itself is set based on the OS interface language.
- Since the so-called "classic interface" was missing in Mechanical by default, I considered it possible to restore it for the afflicted.
- The assembly does not include medicine. The cure is included in my build of AutoCAD 2023, on top of which it is recommended to install this addon.


System requirements:
• Pre-installed Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 with interface language identical to the language of the Mechanical Addon being installed
