Mech-Q Engineering Tools — Built In, Ready to Use
AViCAD isn’t just a drafting tool. Included with every copy of AViCAD is the Mech-Q Engineering Suite, fully integrated into the software from the moment you install it.
There is no separate add-on, no additional installer, and no setup required. Mech-Q tools are available immediately — ready to use inside the same CAD environment you already work in.
Integrated — Not Bolted On
Mech-Q is not a plug-in or external application. The tools are built directly into AViCAD, appearing in menus, toolbars, and workspaces alongside standard CAD commands.
You can choose how Mech-Q is presented based on how you prefer to work:
- Ribbon-based interface — ideal for users who prefer visual discovery and task-based tools
- Classic pull-down menus and toolbars — ideal for experienced CAD users who want a clean, efficient workspace
Mech-Q adapts to your CAD workspace, not the other way around.
One CAD Platform — Multiple Engineering Disciplines
The Mech-Q Suite expands the AViCAD platform to support a wide range of engineering and production workflows, including:
- Mechanical components and layouts
- Piping systems and isometric drawings
- HVAC ducting design
- Structural steel detailing
Wherever possible, Mech-Q works with standard CAD entities, keeping drawings clean, shareable, and fully compatible with typical DWG workflows.
Built-In Value Without Add-On Costs
Many CAD systems charge separately for engineering modules or require complex configuration. AViCAD includes Mech-Q as part of the core product, giving you engineering capability without stacking licenses or subscriptions.
You install AViCAD once — and the tools are already there.
