Our Mechanical / Engineering Suite contains the Mechanical, Piping, Ducting, and Structural modules below. Most of our utilities are equipped with 2D ISO & 3D drawing functionality and include a Bill Of Materials.
Mech-Q runs inside your CAD application as an add-on. We support all versions of AutoCAD (2000-latest). We also support Bricscad, Cadian, ProgeCAD, GstarCAD, AcelliCAD, and many other IntelliCAD-based CAD packages.
Mech-Q now runs in the latest AutoCAD version with 12 months of free maintenance included.

How to install Mech-Q?
Before getting started please view our 2-minute video on how to install it.
What’s Required?
Mech-Q runs in AutoCAD®, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD. Choose your CAD version, or if you don’t have CAD we offer AViCAD, which includes Mech-Q.
What’s inside Mech-Q?
We provide you with four (4) main modules: Piping, Structural, Ducting and Mechanical. You can purchase all modules or one module (for example Piping).
Modules draw both 2D and 3D fittings/objects. Mech-Q works on top of your existing CAD menu – ribbon, drop-down and toolbar menu and fully integrates into your existing CAD program.
And by all means, let us know if you have any questions! Before you get started please click a 2-minute video below on how to install it. Let us know if you have any questions about the installation process.
How long will the trial run for?
Evaluation copies of Mech-Q are provided at no charge, for a 30-day evaluation period.
We encourage you to pass copies of our software to your colleagues for evaluation as well. If you find the program useful and wish to continue using it beyond the evaluation period, a subscription or perpetual license will be required to use the software. Otherwise, you may uninstall the software with no questions asked.

What are the benefits of registering?
Registration of our Mechanical Software allows us to further develop the software and provides additional benefits:
- Free Technical Support via email, within the program’s existing capabilities.
- Notification of any new releases via email.
- Free upgrades within the release you purchased 12 months via direct download from CADavenue.com *
What license types do you offer?
Single User Licenses
The “User License” allows one copy of the software to be used on any machine by one individual at a time. We allow a single Mech-Q license to be used on up to two computers if the computer is used and owned by the same user and is not connected to your network (ie. Laptop or off-site computer)
Network Licenses
The Network License allows multiple copies of the software to be used at the same time. When a user wishes to run the application they request a license from a central license server. For example, with two floating licenses, any number of users can have the software installed, but only two can use it at a time – the others must wait for them to finish using it.
The Network License option is available for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, AViCAD, and Plate ‘n’ Sheet.
Site Licenses
For larger companies, we also offer site licensing. Please contact us for a quote.
How do I register your software?
If you have purchased Mech-Q, an application serial code (ASN) is provided within the software at the time of the trial. The ASN can be found on the startup screen and within the Menu under Maintenance and Authorize.
After purchasing our Mech-Q copy down the ASN and email it to us at support @ cadavenue.com. A permanent registration code will be emailed back, which will activate the software and turn off the trial reminder notice on the start-up screen.
