Tip for Week 08/09/04

 

The PostalCAD Library Manager is the tool used for inserting AS504 equipment and other blocks in your plant layouts.  The individual directories for the equipment type is labeled by the first three digits of the AS504 number.  If you don't know which AS504 number that you need we have has a small, hidden, visual aid for helping decipher which directories hold the correct piece of AS504 equipment.  When in the Library Manager, navigate to the AS504 directory by using the preset listings in the top left directory pull-down.  Here's the trick.  With only this directory highlighted, and no drawing previews showing, hold down the right mouse button over this AS504 folder.  A small popup menu will appear that translates the three digit folder names into equipment types.  You'll see that the 420 directory will contain all of your AFCS equipment and all the other directories are there too!
