Manage mechanical design data more effectively by understanding how mechanical blocks extend standard CAD entities with engineering intelligence in BricsCAD Mechanical.
This lesson explains how Mechanical blocks, external references, and 3D solids can store metadata such as component names, physical materials, BOM status, mass properties, and custom properties while remaining fully editable with standard CAD tools.
You will learn how to create and remove mechanical structures using BMMECH and BMUNMECH, convert drawings, blocks, XRefs, and solids into Mechanical objects, and assign properties at both definition and instance levels.
The lesson also explores how mechanical blocks interact with the Mechanical Browser and Bills of Materials, including component grouping, property inheritance, and BOM behavior for solids, blocks, and external references.
By the end, you will understand how to build flexible mechanical structures that support accurate documentation, material management, and assembly organization.
