Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical 2014 , generating and managing text follows the standard AutoCAD workflow but includes specialized tools for mechanical documentation. Generating Text Objects
Generating parts lists used to be manual and error-prone. In 2014, the BOM engine was tightly integrated with the drawing. When you inserted a balloon (a numbered circle pointing to a part), it automatically linked to the BOM table. If you deleted a part, the BOM updated. If you changed a quantity, the balloon updated. This eliminated the dreaded "BOM mismatch" errors that plague manufacturing. autodesk autocad mechanical 2014
Because these were "intelligent," they would automatically update BOM tables. Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical 2014 , generating and managing

Week 4: Output & Automation
While earlier versions had dimensioning tools, the 2014 iteration refined "Power Dimensioning." This allowed users to add tolerances, fits (like H7/g6), and surface texture symbols directly within the dimension dialogue box. It understood mechanical context—if you dimensioned a hole, it automatically offered hole note options (depth, countersink, etc.).
