Computer Generated Dimensioning
Norman F, Simms Electrical / Mechanical Designer 215-269-0390
This presentation will demonstrate how SolidWorks can automatically dimension parts using the Auto DimXpert command.
This presentation WILL NOT explain the application of ASME Y14.5-2009 or ASME14.41-2003 standards, nor the advantages of using Geometry Dimensioning and Tolerancing over the traditional Plus/ Minus system.
Traditional Plus/Minus Method Geometric Dimensioning Method

Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Form, Fit, and Function is the prime duties of an Engineering Designer. Computer Aid Dimensioning speed the tasks of applying these dimensions on technical drawings.
Note: You should have a understanding of ASME Y14-2009 and ASME Y14.41-2003
If you are someone who is trying to understand CAD , I hope this was a help.
If you are someone who needs someone to help them create new designs. I hope you will use the number below and give me a call.
Thank You for Your Time.
