GstarCAD Mechanical

Specialised 2D mechanical CAD. Built on GstarCAD Professional — designed for engineering.

GstarCAD Mechanical is a dedicated mechanical design platform built on top of GstarCAD Professional. It adds a comprehensive layer of mechanical-specific tools — international drafting standards, intelligent BOM and parts lists, automated balloons, mechanical symbols, standard parts libraries, and advanced detailing — everything a mechanical engineer needs to produce accurate, standards-compliant drawings faster.

Fully compatible with AutoCAD Mechanical (ACM) drawings — title blocks, balloons, parts lists, BOM, surface texture, welding symbols, and feature control frames all read and display correctly without conversion. Existing AutoCAD Mechanical users can move projects across without losing data.

GstarCAD Mechanical uses the same commands and interface as AutoCAD Mechanical. Your team switches without retraining — at a significantly lower total cost, with the choice of perpetual licence or annual subscription.

30-day money-back guarantee on all licenses. Contact our support team within 30 days of purchase to request your refund.

Perpetual license or annual subscription

Own GstarCAD Mechanical outright with a perpetual licence, or choose an annual subscription. Both options give you the complete Mechanical toolset with no feature restrictions.

Native DWG — fully AutoCAD Mechanical compatible

Work directly in DWG and read AutoCAD Mechanical drawings with full fidelity — title blocks, balloons, parts lists, BOM, surface texture, welding symbols, and more.

International drafting standards built in

Draft to ANSI, BSI, DIN, GB, ISO, JIS, CSN, and GOST standards. Symbols, layers, title blocks, and drawing elements are standards-compliant and easily customisable.

AutoCAD-familiar commands and interface

Same command names, shortcuts, and workspace as AutoCAD Mechanical. Existing users are productive from day one and can keep their current habits.

Flexible licensing to fit your team

Standalone, network, or USB dongle licensing — mix and match across workstations to suit your office setup and share access where it is needed most.

Built for Windows

GstarCAD Mechanical is a Windows-native platform, optimised for professional mechanical design workflows on Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 11 and Windows Server.

COMPATIBILITY

Full Compatibility — with DWG and AutoCAD® Mechanical

GstarCAD Mechanical is a native DWG platform that reads AutoCAD® Mechanical drawings in full. Open, edit, and exchange files without conversion — and deliver in any format your projects demand. Available on Windows.

Open existing AutoCAD® and AutoCAD Mechanical files and re‑use everything inside them:

Native .DWG and .DXF read/write — AutoCAD® version 2.5 to the latest release.

Full ACM drawing compatibility — title blocks, balloons, parts lists, BOM, surface texture, and welding symbols all read correctly.

Support for all standard support files: .SHX, .LIN, .PAT, .DWS, .DWT.

DWG Convert — batch-convert files between DWG versions in a single operation.

eTransmit — package drawings with all dependent files for complete, secure handover.

CAPABILITIES

What Can You Do with GstarCAD Mechanical?

GstarCAD Mechanical is a specialised mechanical design platform built on GstarCAD Professional. It adds a complete layer of mechanical-specific tools on top of the full GstarCAD drafting and 3D environment — purpose-built for engineers who produce manufacturing drawings and technical documentation to international standards. Available on Windows.

Mechanical drafting standards & symbols

Design to Standard. Every Time. Out of the Box.

GstarCAD Mechanical comes loaded with eight international drafting standards and a full library of mechanical symbols — so your drawings are standards-compliant from the first line.

ANSI, BSI, CSN, DIN, GB, GOST, ISO, and JIS standards — all included and fully customisable.

Surface texture symbols, feature control frames (GD&T), welding symbols, datum identifiers, and taper/slope symbols.

Power dimensioning — create multiple dimension types with tolerances, fits, and inspection marks in one command.

Multiple dimensioning — batch-create parallel, coordinate, axis, and symmetric dimensions automatically.

Center lines, automatic construction lines, and section lines — placed on correct standard layers automatically.

BOM, parts lists & balloons

Intelligent Data. Accurate Documentation. Every Part Counted.

Standard parts library & detailing tools

Insert. Don't Draw. Thousands of Parts Ready to Use.

Full GstarCAD platform underneath

All of GstarCAD Professional. Plus Mechanical Intelligence.
