sinbad92 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I need a modern version of this exact same help page. As you can see the file path this tutorial gives me is outdated. Where can I find the MEP 2012 version of this? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=5503453&linkID=9240937 Thank you for your time!

tzframpton Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The directories have changed to here: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\MEP 2012\enu\MEPContent\USI\Electrical\Devices For the Style Manager, type STYLEMANAGER at the command line. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad92 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hey Guys I really appreciate the replies so far I have searched up and down the internet and clicked countless buttons, but I cant seem to find the answer. Here is my issue, I want to create a custom set of 2D symbols/blocks to represent various receptacles, fire protection, etc. I want these symbols to show up as 3D devices when in 3D view. I have attached an example file containing a default receptacle that showcases all the features I need. My question is, how can I create custom blocks for my company that function just like the standard blocks/receptacles that came with the program? Any and all help would be immensely appreciated, I am a new intern at this company and they have stuck me on a seemingly insurmountable task. Please help guide me. Thank you, Sinan Najm Help.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I might be wrong, but I think you need to look into content builder and creating mvpart (Multi-view part). Multi-view parts do what you require, give you different views from different vpoints If you have a 3d model of your device, try converting it to mvpart and then insert it by "mvpartadd".

sinbad92 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yes! I think thats exactly what I need. I found a video of a multi-view part and it looks like exactly what I am looking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16kMGDmM9X8 Do yall know of any good tutorials or explanation on how to utilize the multi-view block creator/content builder?
