New in Mechanica
Version 22
When creating a broken section, all database items that fall within its frame are shown in section. In this case, if the database item does not have a section view, its normal view will be displayed.
When using geometry that falls into a local section, it is reshaped by the Refresh view frame button or by mcregenobj command.
For old standards, the following properties have been added:
- Thread direction
- Thread tolerance field
- Material
- Strength class/group
- Type/grade of steel
- Coating
- Coating thickness
For new standards, the following properties have been added:
- Material
- Strength class
- Coating
- Coating element
- Coating thickness
- Finishing of the coating
- Coating method
- Coating lubrication
- Duration of trials
Additional specification templates with the customer's stamp have been made for all specification templates available in the database (simple, group type A and type B, group type A up to 3 versions and plasma). Columns have been added in these templates for the customer sign, decision numbers, approval years, and customer index.

-
More complex and varied materials
-
Custom materials
-
Multi-line notes for materials
Mechanica’s Hole fill tool improves the conversion to threaded holes:
-
Hole diameters becomes the outer diameter of the threads
-
Internal thread diameters depend on the snap selection
-
Names of metric threads are set
The Tables of holes tool now constructs the left coordinate system of holes.
-
Dimensioning in UCSes is corrected.
-
Symbols for surfaces are corrected.
