DefinitionTerm
A command that copies a drawing object to another position in
the drawing. Power Copy produces an identical copy of the ori-
ginal object.
Power Copy
An edit command for all objects in your drawing.Power Edit
A command for intelligent deleting. Use Power Erase when you
delete part reference numbers or when you delete dimensions
Power Erase
that have been created with Power Dimensioning and Automatic
Dimensioning.
A command that lets you click an existing drawing object and
places you in the correct command for creating that object.
Power Recall
A command where you can quickly and easily create a standard
part top view or bottom view of a side view and vice versa.
Power View
Standard parts representation in a drawing in normal, simplified,
or symbolic mode.

Working with Standard Parts
AutoCAD Mechanical provides a large selection of standard parts to work with,
including regular and fine threads, many types of holes, fasteners, and other
standard parts. You can insert complete screw connections (screws with holes
and nuts) in one step. Some intelligence is built into this process. For example,
if you select a screw with a metric thread, you get only metric threads when
you add any additional parts such as tapped holes or nuts.
NOTE It is required that the ISO standard parts be installed for this tutorial exercise.
