GstarCAD Mechanical
The best solution for designers
GstarCAD Mechanical covers the full functionality of GstarCAD Professional software, as well as a number of additional features for designing 2D engineering documentation. GstarCAD Mechanical contains a database with standard libraries of various machine elements, profiles, signs and symbols for technical drawing. The program has excellent functions for dimensions, automated numbering, inventory of elements and openings, with the possibility of export, etc.
GstarCAD Mechanical works on the basis of 3D CAD systems such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidEdge, Solidworks, PTC / Creo, etc. We can import 3D models and edit them easily or we can make 2D cross-sections based on them. The program supports the creation of non-parametric 3D “solid” models, basic functions of 3D modeling (addition, subtraction, intersection), STL export for 3D printing, etc.
Features
Main features
Drawing tools
Easier and more efficient designing with intelligent tools such as construction lines, automatic dimensioning, etc.
Symbols and Tags
Faster production of documentation with the help of symbols such as welds, tolerances and position markings.
Assembly drawings
Automatic creation of detailed views, solution of the visibility in views and sections of the assembly drawings. Add tags and item numbering.
Element numbering
Easier production of assembly drawings thanks to the functions position alignment and automatic numbering of components.
3D modeling
Create 3D models also with Boolean operations and standard CAD operations such as Extrude, Fillet and more. Also analyze the information of 3D elements such as moment of inertia, center of gravity and volume.
3D view
Interactive visualization of models and the possibility of determining different display modes (wired, shaded, realistic …), which increases the control and quality of your models.
More features
Automatic dimensioning
Annotate whole drawings just a few clicks. In doing so, easily and automatically place the dimensions in suitable places, taking into account tolerances and ranges.
Power dimensioning
Easier dimensioning with advanced tolerance-based settings, automatic angle setting, auto-arrangement of overlapping dimensions.
Mechanical Layer Manager
The automatic layer management functionality allows for flexible layer creation.
Parts lists and bill of material
Automatic Parts list generation of manufactured parts that are used in the drawing, updates when drawing changes and new item numbering.
Tolerance and fit list
Generates a fit list from dimensions in the drawing area and places it in a desired position. The fit list is updated after changes.
Libraries
Use an extensive library of elements to make your design easier. Libraries include cross-sections of standard profiles, diagrams, screws, and much more.
Associative hole table
Generates hole tables for drilling (CNC), create interactive lists of openings with one click, which are updated according to changes, thus reducing the occurrence of errors in the project.
International standards
Mutual compatibility with AutoCAD Mechanical at the level of components (bills, tables, symbols, blocks …) and at the level of layers and quotations.
