    Does any one know of a way to set auto dim to on when sketching instead
    of having to turn
    it on each time you sketch? Help would be appreciated.

    Autodimension never works the way you want it to.

    Applying dimensions intelligently is part of how you build "design intent".

    Auto dim just gives you ordinate dimensions relative to a base line in XY,
    not very usefull IMO

    You can try the Line-tool options: select something else than "as
    sketched" for orientation and select "add dimensions" from parameters.
    Sometimes this is quite useful.

    I don't know an automatic way, but you could probably assign a hotkey
    to it, or add the button for it to one of your existing (frequently
    used) toolbarts.
