    Default Electrical Cable Tray Blocks Help!

    I am new to this sight and I was not sure where to post this. I am looking for cable tray blocks, dose any one know where to find them or could maybe send me some. I got a rather big job and I have to draw a cable tray all over and it sure would be nice to have blocks to help out. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    Hi grantw,

    First, welcome to AUGI and congrats on your first post.

    What program and version are you using? If it's a version that supports dynamic blocks then you might do a search HERE. Even if someone hasn't created one yet they might be able to step you through the process.

    Hope this helps,

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    Please note that I've moved this post to the AutoCAD forum until you tell us what software you are using.

    They aren't that difficult to make especially with dynamic blocks. What size are they? How wide and what radius on the elbows and tees? I have some that I can send if you let me know your email addy and the sizes you need. Don't forget the width of the lip on the tray...
