CindyV Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Does anyone have a ceiling fan block (for a 2D drawing) that they would be willing to share? I have searched the free blocks (that I am aware are available), but I cannot find a ceiling fan fixture. I believe this is the last block I need for my final project in my beginning CAD class. I am working in Autocad 2004 (upgraded to 2006). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Have you tried drawing it yourself? I mean, isn't that why you're taking a Cad class, to learn how to draw using Autocad? Sure, someone could give you the drawing, but what will you have learned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Cullen Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 If you're not sure what a ceiling fan block should look like, then use your imagionation. I've never seen one, but I suspect that a small circle, say 200mm diameter, with 4 shapes that look like a plane prop coming out from it at 90 degree angular separation for about 750mm. That would work fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Give a designer a block, and you feed him for a day. Tell a designer about http://www.cben.net and you feed him for a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookie37 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You can learn a lot from using someone elses blocks as well, Sometime by the time you modify them to suit your purpose, it can be 4 times as much work than drawing your own from scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jams001 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Most problems with ceiling fans that have a controller are usually due to the controller. They have a solid state switch that switches the 120 volts line voltage on and off 60 times a second. That's a tough job. Anyway, they have a really high rate of failure What is it, it is a transformer mounted inside the fan canopy the remote works it, all on the same circuit. When dimming the lights and fan speed alot it wares down the unit. Some people on wall dimmers, instead of turning it off completely they will just dim it down. This creates heat and causes the unit to fail. When not in use turn remote off if equiped with an on and off feature, this will prolong the life of a dimmer as well as a fan control. The light bulb blowing probably caused a short circuit for an instant and damaged the controller. Surges in current or voltage will do that. The controller probably needs to be replaced. The remote is probably OK. If it was and you have already tried replacing the batteries in the remote. You will have to get a new one. This system uses the same circuit as a wall controller with the added complexity of a little computer, it's power circuit and a radio frequency circuit. I'm sure it's susceptible to the same high rate of failure as described above for wall controllers. Fanimation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
