Abstract: A system for facilitating power tool operation and positioning includes a power tool, remote detectable device attached to the power tool, a computing device communicating with the power tool to detect the location of the power tool relative to the computing device by detecting the location remote detectable device, and a display for displaying or inputting information into the computing device. The computing device is able to receive and store CAD dimensional data representing a layout of a work area and specific locations in that area where work need to be done. The computing device directs a positioning of the tool at a work site by comparing the position of the tool with the CAD layout position of a location where work needs to be done.
