    Lightbulb Collection of Dynamic Symbols

    I use a lot of these daily for PID drawings.
    Some have gone through many versions to get here.
    Hope you find some useful.

    Need to mention on the Flange Block. I have yet to figure out the difference between Angle and Rotate, but the stretch action only works with rotate not angle. My work around was to add an Alignment parameter. Just snap the block to a line at any angle, and the Stretch works fine.
    Cheers

    Hi

    Not sure if you're into vb

    I created these for my own use and have found them quite handy, I am now retired and only use Acad occasionally, so am sharing the fruits of my labours, warts and all, with any one who cares to make use of them.

    Looks like you put a lot of work into those blocks.

    Hi Ed

    Yes I suppose I have but I found it easier to use vb to produce these, than have dozens of different fittings in one block.
    Same as the Steel and Piping components vb utilities I have posted.

    Not only that but blocks produced with the vb have the name of the component, so when highlighted shows what the component is, and not just a generic name, if that makes sense.
    I was in structural and piping engineering for best part of quite some time and have been using cad since the early 90s but at present I'm just fiddling with things to pass the time.

    Thx for all your input
    No wonder you're classed as 'Professional'

    Thx again Geoff

    Anyone can be a professional member. One of the best perks is the highly discounted rate for being an ADN member.
