A library of standard symbols from bolt heads to bathroom fixtures and more than 50 other categories is available. New symbols can be added. The 30 inches x 96 inches banquet table commonly supplied to dealers at small antiques shows was not in the available table symbols, so we created one and added it. Adding notes and dimensions to a drawing is easy. Selecting one of the dimensioning tools and clicking with the mouse on the appropriate corners of an object produces instant dimensions.
Tools are available to keep dimensions from interfering with each other on a crowded drawing.
Multiple transparent layers are available to draw on. They act like overlapping sheets of clear Mylar. Guidelines, the drawn object, dimensions, and notes can each have a separate layer that can be made visible or invisible at will. AutoSketch has database capabilities that extend its usefulness. Each object on the drawing can be given a name, description, and any desired categories of additional information.
