AutoCAD
Mechanical 2006
What's New
Want to get unparalleled productivity out of your 2D mechanical design
process? Then take a look at AutoCAD Mechanical 2006.
This software packs powerful tools, such as a content library, that accelerate
mechanical design projects by automating common tasks. And because it's
based on the AutoCAD platform, it produces native DWG files so your teams
can easily share design data with other AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor
software users. But it goes above and beyond the capabilities of AutoCAD,
offering significant productivity increases for 2D mechanical design.
And that's what matters-this is a purpose-built tool that helps your teams
save countless hours of design and rework.
So, what's new with AutoCAD Mechanical 2006?
Associative 2D Hide
AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 drastically reduces the time required to create
and edit hidden lines in drawings. Now a single browser entry in the mechanical
structure makes it easy to manage hidden lines, options, and order for
parts and entire assemblies. This new visual workflow alleviates the headache
of managing individual hidden lines: now it's quick, easy, and intuitive.
Autodesk Inventor Associativity for Assemblies
In the past you have been able to easily detail and document native 3D
Autodesk Inventor parts. Now with AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 you can use
the same process to document and detail assemblies. Just open an Autodesk
Inventor file (IPT or IAM) in AutoCAD Mechanical and a link is automatically
created. Now any changes made to the linked 3D Autodesk Inventor models
are immediately reflected in the 2D AutoCAD Mechanical drawing, saving
hours of work in redocumenting changes to a design. The link also provides
access to important design metadata, such as the bill of materials (BOM)
or drawing title, for easy updating.
New Drafting Tools
Increase drafting productivity and improve standards compliance with
AutoCAD Mechanical 2006. A new set of dimensions further extends support
for international standards within AutoCAD Mechanical, with additions
of arc length, jogged radii, flip arrow, and many more. The drafting environment
also benefits from updated standards, such as DIN section lines, JIS feature
control frames, and much more. Last, in addition to the standard command
line interface, AutoCAD Mechanical now offers a headsup design mode that
enables you to enter commands directly in model space.
2D Mechanical Structure Sample Migration Tool
Don't waste time re-creating existing data. Reuse that data instead by
migrating it to 2D mechanical structure. AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 includes
a sample migration tool that can be customized to convert blocks to mechanical
structure. Written in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), this
new tool provides you with the base coding and can be easily customized
to meet the needs of your company.
Autodesk Vault
Integrated with AutoCAD Mechanical 2006, Autodesk Vault makes data management
more efficient by organizing your design data and protecting it from inadvertent
changes. This easy-to-use data management tool makes workin- progress
data more accessible and reusable, while avoiding the versioning problems
inherent in sharing files among workgroups. Most important, Autodesk Vault
is tightly integrated with your Autodesk design applications, making data
management much easier.
