How to improve the speed of drawing equipment diagrams
Thread Content
It takes over a day just to draw a simple jar; all that time is wasted. Actually, drawing is pretty fast; it’s the material list that takes so much time. Does anyone have any good ways to speed things up?
What can it be? ? Is there any good solution?
I just hate filling out those form lists – things like the number of flanges, the number of bolts and nuts. It’s time-consuming, annoying, and errors are likely to occur
Practice more and use shortcuts more often; I’ve seen people use custom keyboards for drawing, with one key corresponding to one command~~~
There’s no secret trick; it just takes a lot of practice. Drawing is, after all, a physically demanding task
Draw carefully; it seems there’s no shortcut
By using VisualLISP and VBA programming tools built into ACAD, it is possible to create standard part drawings and welding joint diagrams, check the consistency between the drawing title blocks and the bill of materials, and generate lists. All repetitive tasks can be handled by machines. Mechanical design engineers can definitely learn computer programming on their own; it doesn’t interfere with their core work. Create your own favorite mini-program that is easy to use.
Use VCAD – it can automatically draw standard components and generate bill of materials, and it’s extremely fast. For heat exchangers, it takes no time at all; for tanks, it should take 1 to 2 hours. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1763496 If you want to pay, I won’t stop you; it’s definitely a great deal. http://vcad.blog.163.com/
