Benefits of the Mechanical toolset
Autodesk commissioned a study that compared basic AutoCAD to the Mechanical toolset when performing nine tasks
commonly used by mechanical engineers.
Results showed that the Mechanical toolset provided over 55% overall productivity gain* compared with basic
AutoCAD, when these tasks were performed by an experienced AutoCAD user.
