AutoCAD Mechanical
2009
AutoCAD® Mechanical is AutoCAD® software for manufacturing. It contains all the
functionality of AutoCAD plus a comprehensive set of features developed specifically to
accelerate the mechanical design process. AutoCAD Mechanical automates many
common tasks, such as generating mechanical components, dimensioning, and creating
bills of materials. It supports international drafting standards and provides a library of more
than 700,000 standard parts. And, it enables drafters to quickly and easily detail and
document digital prototypes created in Autodesk® InventorT software. AutoCAD
Mechanical offers designers a competitive edge by saving countless hours of effort, so
they can spend time innovating rather than managing workflow issues.

AutoCAD Mechanical System Requirements
The following requirements apply to AutoCAD® Mechanical software.
Additional system requirements are necessary to run the Autodesk®
Vault Server/Client. Please note that Microsoft® XP Starter Edition
and Tablet Edition are not supported at this time.
32-bit Requirements
Recommended System Requirements
This configuration is suggested primarily for detail-drafting activities,
moderate use of the standard parts, and 2D assemblies fewer than 100
parts.
- Intel® Pentium® 4 or later, with 2.2 Ghz or faster processor,
or compatible
- Microsoft® Windows® 2000 SP4
- Windows® XP Professional or Home Edition SP2
- Windows Vista™ Enterprise, Business, Ultimate, Premium, and
Basic
- 512 MB RAM
- 1.5 GB of free disk space
- 32 MB or more Open GL® graphics card or DirectX® 9 support
- 1280x1024x32-bit true color or better (Minimum is 1024x768 VGA with
true color)
- Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6 SP1 or higher
- MS-Mouse compliant pointing device
- CD-ROM or DVD
Preferred System Requirements
The following increases from the recommended requirements are suggested
for production-level 2D assembly modeling (hundreds of parts or more)
with heavy use of standard parts, associative 2D hide, or Autodesk Inventor®
associativity.
- Intel Pentium 4 or later, with 2.8 GHz or faster processor (e.g.,
Intel Pentium M 1.8GHz for Laptop) and with at least 1MB total Cache
- 1.5 GB or more RAM
- 2.5 GB of free disk space
- 128 MB or more Open GL work-station class graphics card or DirectX
9 support
Note: Less-capable machines can run AutoCAD Mechanical 2009, but the
results may be less than ideal. The use of additional memory and faster
processors directly improves performance and capacity and is strongly
recommended for design work entailing the use of the software’s
design and engineering functionality, such as 2D structure, associative
2D hide, standard parts, calculations, machinery system generators (shaft,
belt/chain drive systems, and so on), and Autodesk® Inventor™
associativity functionality.
64-bit Requirements
The following requirements apply to AutoCAD Mechanical software. Additional
system requirements are necessary to run the Autodesk Vault Server/Client.
Please note that Microsoft XP Starter Edition and Tablet Edition are
not supported at this time.
Recommended System Requirements
- AMD Athlon® 64, AMD Opteron®, Intel® Xeon® with
Intel EM64T, or Pentium 4 with EM64T support
- Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
- Windows Vista™ 64 bit
- 1 GB RAM (more than 1.5 preferred)
- 1.8 GB of free disk space (more than 2.5 preferred)
- 32 MB or more Open GL graphics card or DirectX 9 support (more than
128 MB preferred)
- 1280x1024x32-bit true color or better (Minimum is 1024x768 VGA with
true color)
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or higher
- MS-Mouse compliant pointing device
- DVD

processors directly improves performance and capacity and is strongly
recommended for design work entailing the use of the software’s
design and engineering functionality, such as 2D structure, associative
2D hide, standard parts, calculations, machinery system generators (shaft,
belt/chain drive systems, and so on), and Autodesk Inventor link functionality.
Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS)
The following recommendations apply to Autodesk Data Management Server
software. (These requirements are in addition to any system requirements
for individual applications.)
Recommended System Requirements
- Intel® Pentium 4, Xeon®, or AMD Athlon™ processor,
2 GHz or better processor
- 1GB RAM, or more
- 60 GB free disk space, or more
Preferred System Requirements
- ZPentium 4, Xeon, or AMD Athlon processor, 2 GHz or better processor
- 2 GB RAM or more
- 120 GB free disk space, or more
Supported Operating Systems
- Microsoft® Windows Vista™2
- Microsoft Windows® XP Professional3 32/64 bit
- Microsoft Windows 20003 Professional 32 bit (SP4)
- Microsoft Windows Server® 20001 32 bit (SP4)

1 For best performance on servers, Autodesk recommends a
dedicated member (non-domain controller) server
2 Limited to a maximum of 10 concurrent requests (Data Management
queries). In order to a support large number of additional requests
or users, Autodesk recommends a server operating system along with the
server version of Microsft SQL Server 2000 (Standard or Enterprise Edition),
or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Workgroup, Standard, or Enterprise Edition).
In order to use these other SQL Versions, you must purchase this software
separately from Microsoft or a Microsoft reseller.
3 Limited to a maximum of 10 concurrent connections (Data
Management queries). In order to a support large number of additional
requests or users, Autodesk recommends a server operating system along
with the server version of Microsft SQL Server 2000 (Standard or Enterprise
Edition), or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Workgroup, Standard, or Enterprise
Edition). In order to use these other SQL Versions, you must purchase
