SimpleCAD has announced that it is preparing many of their industrial block libraries for the new AutoCAD 2013 release expected to arrive in spring 2012. SimpleCAD completed 2013 testing on one of their flagship products called the CAD-SYM library. The block library is comprised of electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic control systems.
SimpleCAD President Erik Zetterberg said, “This fluid power and electrical symbol library is one of our more popular libraries. Customers have been really surprised with how extensive this block library is.”
Included with the electrical block collection is an integrated pull-down menu within AutoCAD comprising of various block libraries all which are now compatible with AutoCAD 2013.
Each symbol is accurately drawn on Layer 0 so that current layer standards can be implemented. Both Imperial (US) and Metric are also provided with each library.
The AutoCAD 2013 compatible industrial libraries within CADSYM consist of the following:
Electrical ANSI Y32.2 & IEC 617—contains symbols including bells, buzzers, horns, signal lights, capacitors, resistors, disconnects, fuses and circuit breakers.
Hydraulic—includes solenoids, actuators, filters, heat exchangers, relief valves, cylinders, pumps, motors, check valves and other regulating valves.
Pneumatic—ships with valve outlines, solenoids, actuators, fixed and variable flow controls and over 100 center spool configurations.
Steel Shapes—predrawn W,S,C,MC, H and L shapes with appropriate AISI, AISC or ANSI standards.
Combined Electrical and Fluid Power libraries consists of more than 2,750 symbols. In addition, other combined libraries include Pneumatic and Hydraulic and contain more than 1,450 blocks. A Steel Shape library with roughly 1,050 is also available.
