[SignsNow299]

looking for a good plugin for adobe illustrator dimension tool. I love corel but we use Adobe CS5 here at work so im forced to import my files into Composer (yuck) and use the dimension tool then bring it back to illustrator for futher editing.. any good plugins that wont break the bank?

CADtools?

Yes, Cadtools is the best! It would suck to be without it.

+1 for cad tools.

Or you can easily draw the details manually with the Stroke/Arrow head styles in CS5.
Will add some time to your turn around for sure but doable.

BPT Pro 3 is also very good ... I have used both and they are pretty equal in functionality for dimensioning ... and BPT is $90 compared to $300 for Cad Tools.

But CadTools is really worth it if you want pretty much full cad design in Illustrator, you can draw out doors, add and move walls and windows etc. really easily. BPT is just dimensioning and labeling.
