Power Dimensioning is the fastest and easiest tool available for the typical AutoCAD user who wants to increase productivity! Just install AutoCAD Mechanical and with a few tweaks to your Options, you can be using a single command to meet your dimensioning needs. It is so fast and so easy, you’ll wonder how you’ve survived without it! Sounds like a late night infomercial, doesn’t it? But in this case, the claims are true! We’ll look at how to set up and use Power Dimensioning so you can start saving time immediately.

In this class we will take a look at the Power Dimensioning tools available in AutoCAD Mechanical. These tools are also available in Mechanical Desktop. For this class the name “Mechanical” will imply both programs.

The tools include the Power Dimensioning command itself, Automatic Dimensioning and a suite of dimension editing tools. These tools can be used right away, in any AutoCAD drawing. However, to take full advantage of them, and save the most time, you should use them in a file that was created from a Mechanical template file.

Note: If a “vanilla” AutoCAD file is opened by Mechanical, the template file named in the “Default standards template”, on the AM:Standards tab of the Options dialog box.
The topics we will cover in this session are:
• Power Dimensioning Basics
• Tweaking Power Dimensioning
• Automatic Dimensioning
• Editing Dimensions
• Hole Notes and Hole Charts
