Hydraulic Symbols
The maximum number of characters for the block name is 32.
■ The first character is "H" or "V" for horizontal wire or vertical.
■ The next 2 characters are the first 2 letters of the family name (for example,
FI for filters, CY for cylinders, PM for pumps). See Overview of Hydraulic
and P&ID symbols (page 174)for a list of symbol family names.
■ The 4th character is "1" for hydraulic symbols - stand-alone component.
■ Use "_" and enter a meaningful name corresponding to the symbol.
Example:
Horizontal standalone cylinder; plunger_cyl is the
meaningful name for the symbol
HCYL1_plunger_cyl.dwg
Inline Wire Marker Symbols
Dumb inline wire marker symbols must be constructed with a tiny piece of
"pigtail" line entity at each connection point. This can be very small but it
must be present for AutoCAD Electrical to correctly "see" the in-line inserted
block as it traces the wire network. Inline wire marker symbols follow this
naming convention:
■ The first character is "H" or "V" for horizontal wire or vertical wire insertion.
■ The next three characters are "T0_"
■ The remaining characters are undefined.
Example:
"RED" inline marker, horizontal wire insertHT0_RED.dwg
P&ID Symbols
The maximum number of characters for the block name is 32.
■ The first character is "H" or "V" for horizontal wire or vertical.
