How to have driving dimensions like in Solidworks

[rafabe1]

Hi,

I'm new to Autocad, trying to learn the best way to work. Is there any option to have dimensions that drive the size of an object? For example, in Solidworks, I can draft a rectangle and put a couple of dimensions, and then I can change the rectangle size just typing the desired values in each dimension. Moreover, if my environment is set to IPS, I can input dimension values in metric just adding the right suffix (for example 10 mm).

Is there something similar in Autocad?

Thanks

Tis is not the AutoCAD forum: this is the LT variant's forum.

LT versions of AutoCAD don't do that, this low-cost program is not comparable to SOLIDWORKS at all: you're going to have to learn to dimension with a lot less automated control here. Sorry.

SOLIDWORKS's comparable option from Autodesk is INVENTOT (and FUSION I believe): totally different programs.

AutoCAD, never the LT versions, has Parametric Tools (like in your video) if you want to purchase 4x the amount of $$ to subscribe to that software and just give up your LT subscription.
