![]() Things like that can be great time savers when you have dozens or even hundreds of text labels to add. After entering the prefix or suffix, the starting number, the increment, and the final number I can place the labels on the drawing as fast as I can click on the locations. This has been very helpful when I had to do things like numbering electrical terminal blocks or wires in a cable. For instance, I have macros that allow me to create text labels using a sequence of numbers with different prefixes or suffixes or both. Here is a composite of two screen shots showing the symbols in the two electrical symbol libraries that came with the program: You can even write macros to speed up many chores that can occur in the design process. You can even add them to existing symbol libraries. Mostly you need to put them in a symbol library and then you can use them. Symbols are a bit harder to create, but not very much. That's it, any drawing can be used as a part in a new drawing. Parts are the easiest as you simply make a drawing and save it. ![]() Creating additional symbols or parts (two different things in FastCAD) is fairly easy in FastCAD. I have one called FastCAD but I am sure there are others. Some of the 2D CAD programs had symbol libraries of electrical components.
