schreib Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Where is the best place to find FREE electrical libraries for very simple 2D symbols for layout of HOME switches, boxes, and lighting? I use 2008(!) VW and there are none in the basic library I have. I only have Fundamentals, not architect version. thanks in advance. USA based. Quote Link to comment
Mike_Borean Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 When I started with VW several years ago, I couldn't find an electrical library either. So, I simply created all the electrical symbols that I use. They are simple and the process was quick. Quote Link to comment
RickR Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 You can also import from a DWG/DXF file. In current versions there is an option to make all w-blocks in a file symbols in the new file. Search the manufacturers you use or some of the free CAD web sites. Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I echo what RickR is saying. There is a plethora of *.dwg symobls out there on the WEB. Some are free and many are not. But I think instead of making them all from scratch, I'd spend a few bucks and buy the ones you've seen you like online and in turn, turn each one into your own symbols for your use in VW. I imagine that even with this method there will be things you want to change to match with your visual standards like text and size but that is par for the course. VW just doesn't have a nice complete package of such symbols. But also once you've got them, you've got them. Cheers. Quote Link to comment
