Where did my autodim command go in Solidworks 2008?

RE: Auto Dimension

In drawings? Select import annotations when creating the drawing, or Insert->Model Items.
If you're talking about in the model, look at DimXpert.

RE: Auto Dimension

Ok, I figured it out.  Was looking for a command icon and there isn't any, they stuck it on a tab when you click "Smart Dimension".  UI Problem solved.

You can use the Autodimension tool to insert reference dimensions into drawing views as baseline, chain, and ordinate dimensions.

To autodimension a drawing:

In a drawing document, click Smart Dimension  on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar.

Select the Autodimension tab.

Set properties in the Autodimension PropertyManager, and click OK .
