New: ELITECAD Mechanics 17 Free trial version

Highest quality, extensive functionality, innovative features, though always easy-to-use: that's ELITECAD.

Flexible 2D/3D construction

From first draft to working drawing, from free form definition to 2D lines – ELITECAD Mechanics provides a flexible solution to create standard-conform manufacturing drawings with or without 3D support.
Standard-conform drawings

All our products are especially optimised for the standards and requirements of their given industry. ELITECAD Mechanics includes extensive pre-configured settings for standard-conform plan issuing. Standard parts like screws, nuts, washers, bearings, profiles, etc. provide additional security and efficiency during the construction process.
Complete mechanical construction

A wide range of tools and features supports you in your daily engineering work. In addition, intelligent parametric mechanical construction parts are provided by ELITECAD. A special focus was set on labelling, dimensioning and positioning for efficient plan issuing.
Easy data exchange via countless interfaces

Smooth communication and seamless data exchange with other programmes is ensured by a variety of 2D and 3D import and export interfaces. In addition to the standard formats DWG/DXF, IGES, SAT, STEP and VDA, models and drawings can also be imported directly from other CAD systems.

Your efficient & flexible partner in engineering

The most important features are grouped into thematic blocks below. Useful add-on modules are also available for special requirements. And thanks to our own CAD core, we can even customise your CAD system.

Optional add-on modules for ELITECAD Mechanics

ELITECAD PARTS by CADENAS

The free module ELITECAD PARTS provides millions of 2D and 3D CAD components from more than 700 manufacturer catalogues via the directly integrated parts4cad interface in ELITECAD Mechanics.

DIN standard parts

As Partner of the DIN Software GmbH, we always keep the standard part library up-to-date. In ELITECAD extensive standards are provided, which provide additional security during construction.

Piping module

The piping module can be used for clear drafting of pipes and pipeline networks. With only a few clicks, pipe classes can be defined and equipped with essential parameters.

Terrain module

The terrain module depicts a three-dimensional terrain by interpreting points in space and curves. This terrain can be modelled and supplemented with roads, retaining walls, points and excavation volume.

Tractrix Curve module

The professional tool for calculating tractrix curves easily enables ambitious architects or road planners to check the navigability of traffic routes interactively using the 15 stored standard reference vehicles according to the regulations of the FGSV.

Numerous import and export interfaces available

To ensure that you and your entire project team can use ELITECAD Mechanics efficiently in everyday engineering, we support a wide range of interfaces and file formats.

DXF/DWG

Highly flexible and configurable 2D and 3D data interchange with countless products can be done in DXF or DWG format. It is possible to import as well as export DXF and DWG files from ELITECAD.
Sketchup

The SketchUp import/export-interface allows access to countless library parts. Just download the desired models from the web, for instance 3DWarehouse.
(3D) PDF

ELITECAD supports PDF generation with paper size recognition. In addition it is possible to create 3D PDF files, which allows you to share the model with people who don't have access to a CAD system.
Lumion

Create perfect images and animations from your digital model. Importing from ELITECAD is a breeze. One click and the Lumion model synchronises with ELITECAD.
IFC / BIM - Building Information Modeling

ELITECAD Mechanics provides import and export interfaces for parametric building models via the latest IFC standard. This allows for ideal collaboration with planners within the BIM process.
3DS

Exporting and importing 3DS files allows the usage of 3D geometry and models from 3DS Max and all other systems that can read or write this format.
