This comprehensive three dimensional piping symbols library contains over 4,600 solid model pipe fitting and valve symbols in several different material categories: carbon steel, ductile iron, pvc, and forged steel. This is not just a set of blocks, but a fully functional easy to use program that loads into AutoCad’s menu bar.
It’s easy to use:
The “3D Piping Symbols Library v1.1″ is a drafting tool to help piping draftsmen and designers quickly create 3D piping models in order to generate 2D plan, section and elevation drawings.
With a couple clicks of the mouse, you’ll be able to quickly insert the piping symbol you need to generate 3D piping layouts with ease. By utilizing a pull down menu and dialog boxes, this comprehensive block library organizes all of the symbols for easy and instant access.
This Dialog Interface works with the 3D Pipe Symbols Library. Therefore to use the dialog interface, you must also have or purchase the 3D Pipe Symbols Dialog also. NOTE: The 3D Pipe Symbols Library can operate without the Dialog Interface.
NOTE: In ZWCAD the pulldown menu only runs in the ZWCAD Classic menu.
Once loaded in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, “Architect Library” will appear in the menu bar.
Step 1:
Choose a category and size of symbols from the pull-down menu.
Step 2:
A dialog box appears showing all of the available symbols with a description to the left. Choose the symbol you would like to insert and click on “OK”.
Step 3:
Insert the symbol in your layout and rotate to the desired position.
Details about the blocks:
Each symbol is drawn as a solid model on layer zero with “bylayer” attributes.
Once inserted, simply rotate the symbol into position and it will take on the characteristics of your current layer settings.
Pipe fitting insertion points are located at the intersection of the pipe centerline.
All flanged fittings and valves include bolt holes.
All valves are shown with handles in the open position.
