Maximizing productivity of 2D design with AutoCAD Mechanical - Summary

You have finished this lesson! Here are the major takeaways:

• We provided an overview of AutoCAD Mechanical and how existing AutoCAD tools have been enhanced for mechanical use to improve your productivity.
• We reviewed how you can work with components and views instead of lines and layers to help you easily set up your construction lines.
• We showed you how to create shaft components and automatically generate a side view.
• We demonstrated how to insert and modify standard shaft components and then update a drawing view.
• We went over how to use a standard belt drive, how to calculate the proper location of an idler, and insert a portion of the detailed belt in the drawing.
• We reviewed how to seamlessly insert standard components using the bolted connection tool, generate projected views, and do so without using cleanup tools.
