Additionally, ZWCAD Mechanical supports such international drafting standards as ANSI, DIN, GB, ISO and JIS, and it has functionality for companies to customize standards. The software can open and write DWG/DXF/DWF file formats, and it is compatible with other mainstream design software.

Among the features ZWCAD Mechanical provides are intelligent balloons with associative BOMs so that any change to a balloon updates the BOM. Creating standard-based balloons is said to be quick and easy as aligning and renumbering them, according to ZWSOFT. BOM creation is a one-step operation, and standard parts can be automatically recognized and summarized, adds the company.

For annotating mechanical drawings, ZWCAD Mechanical provides flexible and advanced dimensioning functions, says ZWSOFT. As an example, the company cites that, with the software's abbreviated dialog boxes, users can control and expand just those variables relevant to manufacturing as well as integrate tolerance and fit list information. The software's smart dimensioning tools automatically force overlapping dimensions to space themselves appropriately.
