I just started a job as a inside engineer for a manufacturing company and I am coming from working as a integrator in the past.
At my last job we had 3 people who did all the autocad drawings for projects and being a field guy I never got much hands on with it. I understand fully the principles for making good drawings but not autocad itself.
My current job has autocad 2006 and they have some good training manuals and videos on it's use so I think I will be ok on that part but they do not have any electrical sysmbols but they want me to get up to speed and make a lot of drawings for existing equipment and modify a lot of drawings they have.
I tried to talk them into upgrading their autocad package or purchaing autocad electrical but it did not go far and that may be just because I am new here so maybe they will consider it later but my question is how would one go about building a autocad electrical symbol library and how is the best way to reuse work in this enviroment and organize your library.
This will most likely end up being a large library just due to all their equipment is different and they use many differenet brands of components.
