Hydraulic Symbols

General

Hydraulic symbols are provided in Elecdes as single line device symbols. Elecdes does not require or provide any special handling of hydraulic symbols beyond that already provided for electrical device symbols.

Symbol File names

The file/block names for all of the supplied hydraulic symbols begin with a prefix of 'hivh' or 'vivh'.

e.g. "VIVHGAGE.dwg" for a gauge, or "HIVHRV11.dwg" for a relief valve.

EDS recognises the first two letters of these file names ('hi' or 'vi').

The 'i' in the block name identifies the symbol as a device symbol.

Directory

The files for these symbols are all found in the same directory as single line device symbols:

  • Hydraulic symbols: <EDS >\IMP_SLIN and <EDS >\MET_SLIN (for metric users)

Location on the Menu

The icon menu for hydraulic symbols can be found on the Hydraulic Symbols menu on the AutoCAD pull down menu bar. This is an optional additional menu that is loaded next to the Elecdes menu.
