Mechanical Parts
ARES Mechanical includes ready-to-use mechanical part-libraries such as: Bolts & Screws, Screw Connections, Nuts, Pins & Washers, Hole & Hole Table, Hole Callouts.
You will find these parts in the Toolbox ribbon of the Designer-planer workspace. They are pre-configured and standardized based on the mechanical standard you have chosen for your project.
These smart entities will help you to speed up the design and make sure it is compliant with the chosen standard. They will also further be recognized for the creation of your BOM.
Mechanical Standard
As a first step you should consider to select a Mechanical Standard for your project. ARES Mechanical supports international standards such as ANSI Inch, ANSI Metric, BSI, DIN, ISO and JIS. The chosen standard will activate pre-defined settings for your drawing in terms of styles, layers, frames and parts libraries.
Alternatively, ARES Mechanical is flexible enough to start a project without defining the standard. You would then make your choice from the part libraries when inserting your first components.
Companies can further define their own standards as copies and/or extensions of existing international standards.
ARES Mechanical will automatically create the layers as your draw, based on the chosen standard and the entities you will use. Mechanical entities will therefore be grouped on specific layers as required by the standards.
Besides significant time-savings, it will unify the style of your drawings, and make sure they are standard-compliant. Nevertheless, you can further customize the predefined layer settings to adapt to your company needs and save your preferences.
Automated Layer Management
Trim or extend entities faster than with any other CAD Software. Trim multiple entities at once simply by moving your mouse around. Just describe a path with your mouse and ARES Mechanical will trim entities while you move the mouse.
You can even use the shift key with Power Trim to Extend entities.
ARES Mechanical includes also all the features of ARES Commander.
