Plumbing Schematic

[Anonymous]

Hi all! Can anyone direct me to resources/ methods for creating plumbing/ hydraulic schematic drawings in Fusion 360?

Plumbing and Hydraulic schematics are normally 2D sketches and not 3D models.  Fusion 360 can create model sketches but if they remain sketches and you create a 2D drawing, the linetype used to represent the sketch in the drawing is what I call Phantom lines.  If you keep the drawing scale very low, you may get away with it but I wanted you to know.  Below is a simple two valve schematic symbol created in a model sketch and then place as a view in the 2D drawing.  You do not have an option to change the linetype.

Thanks John....I appreciate you taking the time to point this out.  It seems like a 2D sketching tool is a better choice for this type of work.

Best of luck,
