structural symbols
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
i'm looking for structural steel symbols for autocad - i've been using autodesk Symbols 2000 for the past couple of years (using the green steel construction book) - but i've been noticing that some beam size dont exist in todays world - i'm now using the black steel construction book - 13th edition - is there software out there that has current steel shapes - any help would be great
thanks
Richie

You might try looking at the ftp website I provide a link to in my last post in this thread.
http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showth...ghlight=blocks
It takes a while to load mind you because of the number of blocks on the site. Page through the list until you recognize some of the steel shapes."I have only come here seeking knowledge. Things they wouldn't teach me of in college." The Police

2004...to bad. Can't use Dynamic Blocks.
For anyone that is interested, if you join AUGI (membership is free) you can take advantage of a nice array of dynamic blocks (free for the sharing) found at their website. One such dynamic block is for steel shapes."I have only come here seeking knowledge. Things they wouldn't teach me of in college." The Police

By the way, block libraries of structural shapes are available for purchase from third-party providers. A simple Internet search should turn up several. If you go that route pay attention to price but don't neglect to verify the blocks will work with your version of AutoCAD. Symbol libraries will tend to be a cheaper alternative to full-fledged add-on structural steel programs.
