A method and related CAD system and computer readable medium for creating a dimensioned object model in a CAD system, including automatically associating editable dimensions with an object model in the CAD system. The method includes receiving 2D CAD data, the 2D CAD data including dimension information, and creating a 3D model corresponding to the 2D CAD data. The method also includes associating the dimension information with features of the 3D model and storing the 3D model and associated dimension information in the CAD system. The dimension information can thereafter be edited to automatically produce corresponding changes in the 3D model. Other methods are also described.
