Symbols

[GPSJane]

Is there an architect who can tell me what symbol I should use for a casement window on a plan drawing? I have seen variations but I'm not entirely sure what the official symbol should be. I really don't want a curved line 'door-like' symbol if I can help it as my drawing is quite busy but I will if that is the only way.

Lots of window blocks here.

Thanks very much.

How do I read the numbers? 5-32w-p would be 32 units wide I'm guessing but 4-32w-p would be what?

And, er, how do I use a block?
