Hot and cold water pipes - BS lintypes?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey

 

Does anyone know of a BS standard line type for showing internal hot and cold water feeds?

 

Also internal foul waste pipes?

 

Looking to find out whether they are dashed / dashdot, dash-double dot etc etc.

Hi,

 

I think they are not covered by BS anymore, since BS1192 was rewritten, I have seen the "standard" linetypes with "HW" and "CW", and CH flow CH return, sprinkler, etc. Foul water can either be shown as a dashed / hidden as it is beneath the floor, or more correctly as a dash dot or dash double dot, Surface shown as dashed.

Thanks - I have the 'HW' linetype in AutoCAD 2008 but no CW, can you tell me where I can get this?

you could try to change line just do this search for ***.lin file

save as new.lin than chage needed code see below

 

 

*Cold_WATER_SUPPLY, water supply ---- cw ---- cw ---- cw ----A,.5,-.2,["cw",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.2

 

*other_WATER_SUPPLY,Hot water supply ---- ot ---- ot ---- ot --A,.5,-.2,["ot",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.2

 

now load line by chosing other and find where you saved file pick line

 

 
change must be second line after ["**" etc
