    I poked through the archives and didn't really find anything that helps
    me with this question.

    I do a lot a machine design and occasionally (rarely) have the need to
    do a simple pneumatic or electrical schematic. I realize that SW is
    probably not a great choice for this but these are simple schematics.
    Rather that going to some other program I would rather just stay within
    this platform.

    Is there anywhere to get a good library of blocks for SW ? I am
    guessing that is my simplest way to go about this. I am looking for
    the pneumatic stuff at this point.

    Any help would really be appreaciated.

    Thanks.

    How about looking for free AutoCAD library blocks?
    If your company is using Visio Pro and it is installed on your
    workstation the SCHEMATIC menu in a SW drawing will be activated and
    you can embed the visio file right inside the drawing.

    Ok...I do have Viso 2000 installed on my PC. Since I didn't know I had
    it that should tell you how often I have used it ! Time to learn
    something new.

    Is there a source of Pneumatic symbols for Visio 2000 that anyone can
    point me to ?

    Thanks guys and sorry for the simple question.

    The copy of Visio (2000) I have has a very extensive library of
    pneumatic components already. I love that program!

    Depending on which version you have they should be there. I have Visio
    from back around SW 99 or 2000 days. SW was giving it away as it was
    intended at the time to provide support for 2D specialties like fluid
    and electrical schematics. Strangely Visio and what is now DWGEditor
    were originally from the same company. MSoft bought Visio and Cadopia
    got the ACAD knockoff.
