When I type UNDEFINE at the command line AutoCAD prompts me for the command name.
 
Sounds like you have a real mess on your hands.  The uninstall may not have caught everything that needed to be cleaned up.

I should have told you before that I did try the repair option first; it seemed like nothing had changed. From the begining I tried the mechanical help file and it was not able to be found. Then I tried the AutoCAD 2004 help and it opens up just fine only no help for mechanical issues.
I tried to type redefine and it came back as a unknown command.
I type undefine then the command name "amtitle" that came back as unknown command name.
I have also found that if I open options I get no mechanical tabs like I had before.

Yeow!  Uninstalling / reinstalling AutoCAD was a pretty drastic step for the problem you were trying to solve.
 
Check your Help file for both the UNDEFINE and REDEFINE commands.
 
In the future, if you have a problem that cannot be solved by any normal means then first try the REPAIR option located on your installation media or in Windows > Add/Remove Programs > AutoDesk Mechanical 2004.  If that fails to solve the problem then you might have to reinstall.  I say "might".  As you have found out a reinstall can cause problems you did not have beforehand.

I typed redefine then AMTITLE. Then I got "unknown command name"

I am not sure what you mean by undefined. I tried reinstalling and upon reopening the program I am being told that it "cannot find a dll or other file that it needs". Then at the end of loading this is what I have found.
 
Unable to load the following modules:
   ge_load.arx

Does any of this make sense?

Is it possible that the command has been undefined?
 
Is there a Redefine command in your program?

I am using AutoCAD Mechanical 2004 and all of a sudden
if I click on the power diminsioning tool I get the following text:

Command: _ampowerdim Unknown command "AMPOWERDIM".  Press F1 for help.
 
Anyone know what is going on and how to fix the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
