mpkeane Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I would like to introduce a symbol for a wood screw on a section drawing. I have found the Hardware Tool Set and the Fastener Tool but this seems to only allow machine screw shapes. Is it possible to also draw a pointed wood screw image somehow? Marc Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 You can find some here. http://www.raylibby.net/vwdump/fasteners.zip Quote Link to comment
mpkeane Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thank you for letting me know about your files. I downloaded them and assume I must put them in some folder and then restart VW to access them but do not know where or how to do that. Could you let me know step by step how to use these files please. Quote Link to comment
jfmarch Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 just open his file and either access his symbols by copy & paste, are through the resource pallette. no need to put in any special folder or restart. hope this helps... Quote Link to comment
mpkeane Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thank you Ray and Jim Ray's file was made on an older version of VW and wouldn't open with just a double click so I was confused, but now that I understand I was able to force it open and save it as a newer version. Works great. Thank you! Marc Quote Link to comment
greenmeadow Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 How were you able to "force" open the old screw files. Can't find anything in the VW12.5 manual about how to use theses old files in VW12.5. Quote Link to comment
mpkeane Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 To "force" open the file is simple -- just go File > Open, open the file and it gets converted. Marc Quote Link to comment
