UK Electrical CAD drawings needed

[limartin]

I'm not sure where to post this so I will start here. I am looking for CAD scale drawings for UK standard electrical sockets. I specifically need an RCD protected 30A switch socket outlet but a link to any drawing source would give me a start. Any help in this search is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
My favourite UK AutoCAD database doesn’t seem to have any electrical blocks.
So not much help to you.

Cheque book holders may find the Autodesk UK site more helpful. ~Shrug, not I~

If it’s any help the term BS (for British Standards) is useful when surfing for such blurb.
Ggrrr, Everyone wants our money!

Lisa,
Did you ever find what you were looking for?
I did a search for UK Electrical dwg but not very successful.
Recently for work I looked up symbol for a laser switch and found absolutely nothing. So, we came up with our own. National Standards, they must be behind the times.
Sorry for the none help.
I did come across this one site:symbols

Hey, thanks, Renata and everyone else who tried to help. I found a couple of sites once I got the nomenclature down. However I found no .dwgs, just .pdfs that I could print out, scan, and scale back up and draw over. Nice, huh? Not the cleanest, but I got close and as long as it's not for metalwork, I'm safe, so far. If anyone has need, here's the most helpful site:
http://www.internationalconfig.com/. It covers many countries and standards, however I've only used it for UK so I'm not sure about how extensive it is.

Cheers!

Me too.
Happy to hear some things worked out.

Side question, are you using AutoCAD Electrical?

No, I work for a consulting group that works in all disciplines and not exclusively in any. So, we use straight vanilla CAD. I used to use Civil in my environmental days, but no longer.
