Question: what is the difference between autocad and autocad mechanical?
Answer: AutoCAD does 2D and 3D designs for any environment. It's drafting software. ... It can do 3D just as plain AutoCAD does 3D. Mechanical includes tools that make mechanical design easier - standard parts such as fasteners, shafts, springs, steel shapes, etc, that correspond to different standards (ISO, ANSI, JIS, DIN).
