Bob in Derby Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hello folks Although we use a variety of software for LX work (LX Designer, a bit of CAD, Corel...) we also have a number of things on MS Visio and I thought it would be useful if I could bash some lights onto some of the plans in an easy format. I'm sure I've seen LX symbols in Visio format in the past, but the location escapes me, and searches of Blue Room / Shepperd and Googling have not been fruitful (either that or my brain has slipped somewhere) Anyone any clues (or even symbols...)Help and info as always much appreciated.

gareth Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Not familiar with Visio - what flavours of graphics/CAD file is it capable of dealing with? Bitmaps? JPEGs? DXF/DWG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 This link might be useful. It seems to be a proprietry format - typical Micro$oft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilf dLampy Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 You can import DXF/DWG files, which are often available on manufacturers websites. Then you can make up your own toolbox containing these fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Derby Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 Cheers fellas I was just coming back to say exactly that... Takes a bit of persuading to sort out the attributes and info, but I've finally managed to create a glorious set of stencils - well it actually took two of us going "erm... click that... try this... doh!" etc (If anyone visits this thread in the future after doing a "Visio" search, I've now written myself a set of bullet point instructions for converting the files - PM me for a copy!!!)

Muller_Light Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Any chance of copies of these stencils for Visio?Amateur use only. Ta. Paul In Coalville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Derby Posted April 1, 2004 Author Share Posted April 1, 2004 Yes indeedy Paul ("in Coalville!") As soon as I've finished a good stack of them (or persuaded a colleague he'd like to help me finish what we started!) I'll mail them to you. I'll even type up my scribbles about converting CAD stuff into Visio in a painless (well almost) fashion. TTFN Bob ("in Derby!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
