System Requirements:
Recommended System Requirements
This configuration is suggested primarily for detail-drafting activities, moderate use of standard parts, and small 2D assemblies of fewer than 100 parts.
* Intel Pentium III, Pentium 4, Xeon, or AMD Athlon processor, 1 GHz or higher
* Microsoft Windows XP (Professional or Home Edition, SP1) or Windows 2000 (SP2 or later)
* 512 MB RAM minimum
* 500 MB or more free disk space
* 32 MB OpenGL graphics card, 1280x1024x32-bit true color or better
* Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later
Preferred System Requirements
This configuration is suggested for production-level 2D assembly modeling (hundreds of parts or more) with heavy use of standard parts, associative 2D hide, or Autodesk Inventor associativity.
* Pentium 4, Xeon, or Athlon processor, 1.8 GHz or higher
* Windows XP (Professional or Home Edition, SP1) or Windows 2000 (SP2 or later)
* 1 GB or more RAM (1 GB or greater recommended when running the Autodesk Vault client)
* 500 MB or more free disk space
* 64 MB or more OpenGL workstation-class graphics card, 1280x1024x32-bit true color or better
* Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later
Note: Less-capable machines can run AutoCAD Mechanical 2005, but the results will be less than ideal. The use of additional memory and faster processors directly improves performance and capacity and is strongly recommended for design work entailing the use of the software’s design and engineering functionality such as 2D structure, associative 2D hide, standard parts, calculations, machinery system generators (shaft, chain/belt drive systems, and so on), and Autodesk Inventor associativity functionality.
