Here’s what’s new!

Thanks for your interest in Mech-Q. We are happy to announce a brand new Mech-Q (and AViCAD) release. If you are a current Mech-Q user, ask us for a quote. Free updates are also available if you purchased less than one year ago.

Auto-Save Mech-Q Settings Feature

A recent addition is the ability to auto-save your Mech-Q settings to the drawing itself. You can also manually save and load your settings via your hard drive.

Changing how Mech-Q saves your settings means you could set up a Mech-Q/Acad drawing template for one spec and then another for a different spec. Each drawing will then remember its own Mech-Q setup and 2D/3D draw modes, layer settings, units, and more.

This new change improves Mech-Q’s overall speed and allows you to save your settings as you upgrade your computer or Mech-Q itself.

Although there are many ways to use this feature, remember that all Mech-Q settings are always saved to your drawing or templates for safekeeping.

To explain how to use this feature – have a look at the video below:
