Hydraulic constructor

[dmitriibondarenko]

Hi!

I have some maybe crasy idea, bu anyway. In our company we use ACAD Electrical also for hydraulic diagrams. And very often we need valves which are don't exist. That is why we should draw new and new, and new symbols - with spring - without spring, with coil - without coil, that configuration and another. Now we use some another tecnique - Parent componet which is just squares and pins and child components with pointers, springs, coils and so on. Maybe make some wizard-constructor of valves? Like PLC.

1) Horizonal/vertical

2) how many position

3) how many ways

4) drag & drop drawings for every position and additional things.

5) profit!

It could be very useful and simple for them who draws diagrams

have you thought about using the plc database to generate valve variants

i saw a posting where someone was using the plc database to generate vsd Drives and i have used it for specialised plug and socket assemblies

i don't see why you cant have all the various valve parts in the database and from then onwards it would be a fairly easy task of adding a new valve
