The AutoCAD Mechanical: Essential Skills course is designed to teach participants the fundamental principles of using AutoCAD Mechanical, with a strong emphasis on enhancing productivity through tools specific to mechanical design. A key focus is placed on mastering the property management system and understanding how to organize and automate standard mechanical drafting tasks.

This comprehensive 3-day course includes a wide range of topics essential for mechanical design workflows, including:

• Navigating the AutoCAD Mechanical user interface
• Using the property management system
• Organising and manipulating drawing geometry
• Creating and managing drawing sheets
• Working with drawing templates and layer control
• Generating mechanical parts and assemblies using built-in tools
• Creating bill of materials (BOMs) and parts lists
• Adding balloons, dimensions, and annotations
• Performing basic design calculations
• Using mechanical options tailored for CAD managers
• Leveraging and integrating existing data into new designs

This course is ideal for professionals who already have a working knowledge of standard AutoCAD software and want to expand their skills into the mechanical design environment. It is best suited for:

• Mechanical drafters and designers
• Engineers and CAD technicians
• CAD managers looking to enhance drawing standards and workflows

The course aims to:

• Equip delegates with the essential tools and workflows specific to AutoCAD Mechanical
• Improve drafting productivity through the use of mechanical-specific features
• Provide the ability to automate and standardize mechanical drawing creation
• Enable better data management through property control, BOMs, and annotations

On successful completion, participants will be able to confidently produce mechanical drawings using industry-approved practices and will receive an Autodesk Authorised Completion Certificate.
