We have an engineer who uses AutoCAD LT 2014. He needs to use an electrical symbols library in AutoCAD so he can properly create the prints & drawings for machines, schematic edits, etc.
Looking for such a library/add-on for AutoCAD has been unsuccessfully. How to obtain electrical symbols for AutoCAD LT 2014?
I need to get all Electrical Terminal symbols which is placed in Schematic - Icon Menu - terminal Connector symbols those symbol are in
C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingAutodeskAutoCAD Electrical 2013R19.0enuSupport
this path and the those symbols are in this ACE_JIC_MENU.DAT is it possible to get those symbol images
If there is a British standards for drawing symbols for electrical, fire, security, lighting etc. Seen so many different ones to use and is there a web site i can go on that would show me the correct symbols i should use.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am in the middle of creating a library of symbols that I will need in a drawing. I have created around 10 symbols so far and I thought I'd insert them to see what they look like. When I drew them, all the lines were very smooth and they looked very neat but when I inserted them into the drawing they came out looking horrible with sharp lines and hatching going into areas which I closed off with boundaries. Also the text has changed on some of the symbols from the standard font to a very thin ugly looking font. A couple symbols which I have made into dynamic blocks no longer has the dynamic element to them so I cant stretch them as needed. Any know why this is happening? Or how to fix this?? When the symbols are being inserted it says "the definition has been changed"

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust installed X6. However, even though I installed Symbols and Objects from the content install, symbol manager does not see the symbols library on my hard drive. I guess it expects me to add a library, but where this symbols library is. Am I supposed to install the entire content package (I really don't want to clutter my hard drive with thousands of unwanted images) in order for symbol manager to be able to automatically find where the symbols are?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't normally use libraries. I'm just not a big fan of them, so if I'm wrong here about a basic concept it's no surprise. My understanding was that if you add a folder location to a project under the library heading (see image) then everything in it automatically becomes read-only when that project is active.
My intention was to test some of 2014's functionality on products that I have drawn in 2013 without mucking up my other designers who I'm not ready to upgrade, yet. So, I copied some assemblies over to a new folder on my network completely outside of the root folder of the normal working directories. I then assigned that working directory as a library in the new project file I created in 2014 specifically for testing it. I expected this to allow me to open my files without a bunch of unresolved reference problems and not have to worry about accidentally migrating files that I'm not ready to migrate.
So, why did I still manage to migrate a bunch of file that are located in the working directory that's supposed to be write protected?! Now I have actual product files that can't be opened in 2013. Luckily, I can restore these from a back-up, but what did I miss here? Did I not check a certain box somewhere or am I missing the whole concept? I really doubt this critical function of Inventor is somehow bugged in 2014.
I just create a few objects in the symbol manager, now I want to send those contents I createt to a friend. But I cannot find my library/symbols folder in the Corel Draw folders.

Our office has several people, working on several .ai files which all share symbols in common. We all know how to edit a local symbol and have it ripple through 1 document and change the artboards. We know how to save a library of symbols to share with others in the office. What we don't know is how to edit a symbol in that library and have it update everwhere.
If we can improve our process we can turn 1 day of work into 1 minute. I wish it worked like links in InDesign.
In Inventor 2014, is it possible to export a list of all of the materials in a given material library..? As text, or into Excel, or something similar?
I have a material library in Inventor 2014 containing lots of custom defined materials. I would like to create a master list that I can give to someone who isn't using Inventor. The only property that I really need to export is the material name, e.g.' CSA G40.21-44W'.
In this case, engineering is trying to coordinate better with purchasing, by making sure that materials are specified in the same way in both departments.

When selecting a material from the dropdown list the material isn’t downloaded correctly.
I had just edited the appearance for that material, pointed it to a new bitmap, then added the appearance & material to the library. Then purged it all from the document.
Restarting Inventor results in the material being downloaded from the library correctly.

I have upgraded to Inventor 2014 and I'm having trouble transferring my custom content center library (local machine, no server). My understanding was that I copy the .idcl and .idz files from the old folder to the 2014 folder, open the projects dialog box, configure content center libraries button, and use the update tool button.
However, in the configure libraries dialog box my custom library doesn't even show up in the list along with my ANSI, ISO, "My Library", etc. Restarting Inventor didn't work.
When working in a drawing, I don't see a selection for weld symbols in Annotate - Symbols. Are they not available in LT? Is there something I need to do to activate them?

I have a terminal from Phoenix Contact(their p/n 3031429) it's a 2 level terminal - sttb4. When I associate two terminals (one on the top points, and one for the bottom points), it ends up putting the wrong terminal number on the top line. It does not matter what order i click as "master terminal" or not. And When I am dealing with a PLC, I use multiple 2-highs and it is a pain to constantly go in and manually force it to switch. I will always have one terminal with the wire number(based on rung number) and one based off from a PLC address. Is there a way when associating these terminals it will alway look at the PLC address as the top point?

I have heard that Autocad MEP is great for laying electrical conduits etc. I tried using it but could not get desired results because of probably wrong settings. the biggest problem is the bend radius. also i would like to know how to use custom switch boxes and junction boxes as per my country standards.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhat type of line are you using to show electrical wiring in a house, I've used the arc line and I really don't like the flexibility of that, it want bend like I want it to. The next thing I'm trying now is to use a leader line without arrows, that works better, you can bend that little rascal all over the place.

So, any converter which converts the drawing file to PDF with text searchable PDF.
