Highlights
Customizable Drafting Standards
Mainstream drawing standards are available and customizable for creating design data that conform to company requirements; |
Libraries of Abundant Standard Parts You can directly use nearly 4,000 parts in 43 categories (machinery, heavy industry, automotive, mold, energy, transportation, water conservancy, chemical, shipbuilding, etc.). |
Intelligent Annotation – Saves You 80% of Annotating Time
Intelligent Annotation associates sequential numbers with the BOM, simplifying text processing by updating and interacting text data in sync. With one command, 80% of the annotating time is saved. |
Specialized Drawing Tools
Specialized tools for drawing, construction, etc. can effectively shorten the time for creating construction geometries and technical entities; |
Features
- DWG Compatibility – Built on Your Familiar ZWCAD, Seamless DWG Compatibility
- Smart Annotation
- Power Dimension – Power Dimension makes dimensioning easier with abbreviated dialog boxes that control and expand only the variables that are relevant to manufacturing, as well as integrate tolerance and fit list information.
- Multiple Dimensions – With Multiple Dimensions, you can create multiple dimensions with minimal input and properly space ordinate, parallel or symmetric items.
- Detect dimension overlap and determine suitable distance – Overlapping dimensions can be automatically spaced apart appropriately. It determines the suitable distance from the object being dimensioned, making the linear dimensions look neat and clear..
- Quickly design by using mechanical symbols – Mechanical symbols, include surface texture symbols, datum identifiers and targets, taper, center hole and weld symbols greatly save your time and improve your design accuracy.
- Intelligent Balloon and BOM
- Easily generate balloons and BOM – With ZWCAD Mechanical, you can draw, align and renumber standard-based balloons easily. It only takes one step to create a BOM. Also, it automatically recognizes standard parts and summarizes them to the BOM.
- Associative Balloon and BOM – Every change to the balloon would be updated to the BOM, ensuring that the data is always correct and up-to-date.
- Intelligent Drawing Environment
- Enterprise and international standards support – ZWCAD Mechanical supports ISO, ANSI, DIN, JIS and GB drawing environments, and it also provides an easy way to customize enterprise standards.
- Layer management and layer mapping – Every mechanical entity, such as border, dimension, symbol, etc, would be placed to the default layer with preset color and linetype. With layer mapping, mechanical entity can be placed on a custom layer to match company practices.
- Multiple borders and adaptive scaling – ZWCAD Mechanical supports multiple borders drawing with different scales, and the size of annotations objects can be changed according to the scale of border.
- Super Edit – Re-editing becomes easy, double click objects and then the settings in the dialog box will be changed automatically.
- Mechanical Parts and Generator
- Part Library – ZWCAD Part Library contains screws, nuts, washers, pins, rivets, springs, bearings, etc. It saves you hours of work by directly taking parts from the library.
- Shafts and Gears – You are able to create Shafts and Gears by inputting the geometric parameters, which greatly accelerates the whole design process.
- Extended Drawing Tools for Manufacturing
- Construction lines – The program includes a total of 32 options to create construction lines and 7 options to create construction circles. Construction lines can be used as references to create other objects and make drafting easier.
- Advanced Centerline – You can add centerline to circle or rectangle by simply selecting objects. Centerlines can be drawn to one single entity or multiple entities.
- Reusable detailing tools – Generate the detail view with a few clicks, and it is updatable when a change is made to the geometry.
- Draw Groove quickly and accurately – Technical groove is an essential segment in the mechanical design process, ZWCAD Mechanical offers a variety of construction features of process structure, including crack groove, shaft and hole rect reliefs.
