Before importing, it’s good practice to finalise the properties and parameters.
If you are unsure how to design or use a block, then you will need to brush up on the process before continuing.įirstly you may need to create the block or symbol that you intend on importing. Having everything in one place can really help when moving jobs or changing projects, so it’s something to consider if you plan on using AutoCAD P&ID in the future.Īs I mentioned above, I use a DWG file that houses all my blocks, so for the purposes of this post I will be using a general blower from my block database. The DWG file is also part of a project that houses the individual blocks and their design stages. Personally I use a DWG file that has different sections for pumps, blowers, instruments etc. This is just a quick tutorial covering how to import a symbol/block into AutoCAD P&ID’s database and access functions like scaling on insert, inline symbols/blocks (Join type), auto block nozzles and general style properties.įirstly, I should mention that it’s a good idea to maintain a database of symbols that you have created or acquired.
While teaching myself AutoCAD P&ID over the summer break I ran into some issues with inline blocks and database access.
