A feature that makes it possible to store parts such as blocks
and drawings in a library. For every inserted part, an icon can

be created. The icon is put in the display section on the right
side of the dialog box along with an assigned name.

power command
Power Dimensioning is a very useful tool for generating linear,
radial and diameter dimensions, which minimizes the number

of the individual actions required while generating a dimen-
sion. Power Dimensioning selects the type of linear dimension
(horizontal, vertical, or aligned), based on the selected point,
and the dimensions of the drawing can have a uniform style
using the distance snap.
Extending Designs
First, you start a new drawing template with ISO standard. Then you load the
initial drawing using the Library.
To open a template
1 Open a new drawing. On the command line, enter NEW.
The Select template dialog box opens.
2 In the Select template dialog box, select the template am_iso.dwt.
This opens a new drawing template. Now you insert the drawing from
the library.
