*Urgent* IEC Symbol Library

[mongerson]

I'm a new user to AutoCAD Electrical 2009 and I'm wondering where the default library path is for the IEC Symbols. I know I installed all libraries during the setup, but only the following libraries:

Hyd_Iso125

jic1

jic125

panel

Pid

pneu_iso125

appear in the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Autodesk\Acade 2009\Libs" directory. If I could find the library path, I may be able to use the project manager properties to assign the desired library to the project. I would much appreciate anyones help as to how I can start using these IEC symbols.

If you did install all libraries, the IEC should be
in the same directory. There would IEC2 and IEC4....

You may need to start the install program again and
add the missing libraries in the maintenance area, and see if that installs
them...

When I insert the DVD and try to reinstall it says its already installed (don't see any maintenance option). Am I missing something here?

Go to your Control Panel and in the Uninstall Programs dialog you can press Uninstall/Change on Electrical. That will let you run through the setup and change what options were installed originally.

I am not sure that will actually reinstall the
library. This option can be used to add manufacturer content that you didn't
install initially. But for libraries there might be a registry setting that is
indicating that it was already installed. I don't recommend modifying the
registry settings directly. You may have to uninstall and reinstall. Unless
there is another PC that you can copy the symbols from. This isn't my area of
expertise but I seem to recall reading another post similar to this awhile
back.

Well it is the 30-Day Trial Version, but it gave me the option to install the libraries? I don't think its because it's the trial, but maybe it could be? My local authorized AutoCAD reseller wasn't sure..

The thirty day trial version is exactly the same as the purchased version, in fact, it is the purchased version. When installing either one, you are prompted for a registration code. If you install the trial version, all you have to do is enter the registration code to enable the software to run.

Going to your Control Panel and selecting the Uninstall Programs dialog
should allow you to Change your current install of AutoCAD Electrical and add
any symbol libraries that were not originally installed.

If for some reason all the symbol library
options are already toggle ON, then the install must thing they were
already installed.  To get around this, go to the following location on the
DVD:

\acade\x86\en-us\Acade\Program
Files\Autodesk\Root\Libs

and you should just be able to copy the symbols
from there.

I had a same problem earlier, i had uninstall autocad electrical, and re install now i got all the symbol libraires,
when you install it will show you only JIC, and once you selected JIC library before installing you will find one button called "Configure", click on that and select all to add remaining symbol libraies like IEC, JIC ect....... then you press finish, automatically all sybol libraries will add to your autocad electrical

Actually, I just figured out the same thing 🙂
