Square clamps in Plant spec

[tmccar]

How can I set up a square, 2-jaw clamp for use in Plant? The only option I see in Catalog Editor - "Create New Component"  has a round clamp  which wouldn't suit.

  I want to have my spec set up so that when the joint is made, the square-jaw clamps are pulled in from the spec. (Similar to where a bolt set is pulled in when making certain gasket joints)

   Advice would be appreciated.

Create New Component is correct. But you will want to use AutoCAD blocks to define the shape rather than using the parametric blocks available.

Each size will have to be modelled in dwg format and the converted using "plantpartconvert". The following link is a list of videos that will help you.

This is the only way that you can get your square clamps into your spec.
