Where did my autodim command go in Solidworks 2008?

In drawings? Select import annotations when creating the drawing, or Insert->Model Items.
If you're talking about in the model, look at DimXpert.

Ok, I figured it out. Was looking for a command icon and there isn't any, they stuck it on a tab when you click "Smart Dimension". UI Problem solved.
