About the study
Autodesk commissioned a study that compared basic AutoCAD to the Mechanical toolset when performing tasks commonly used by mechanical engineers.
Results showed that the Mechanical toolset provided up to 55% overall productivity gain* compared with basic AutoCAD, when these tasks were performed by an experienced AutoCAD user.
*As with all performance tests, results may vary based on machine, operating system, filters, and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice.
