- Plumbing symbol library: 34 symbols drawn for CADaddy.
- Fixtures at real size: water closets, urinal, lavatories, sinks, mop sink, tub, shower, drinking fountain, water heater, floor drain, floor sink.
- Piping symbols placed at your drawing's scale: gate, ball, globe, butterfly and check valves, PRV, RPZ backflow preventer, cleanouts, union, cap, pipe up/down, meter, VTR, hammer arrestor, pump, hose bibb, flow arrow.
- Each has a tag or pipe size to fill in, plus hidden trade and type fields so counts and schedules can total fixtures by type.
- Symbols palette: pictures of every symbol, a search box and click-to-place (Window ▸ Symbols, or Insert ▸ Symbols). You can also type
SYMBOL. - Dimension Style Manager:
D,DIMSTYLEor Format ▸ Dimension Style. Unit format, precision, text, arrows, extension lines and overall scale.
Safer with your files
- Opening a drawing that's already open switches to its tab instead of opening a second copy.
- Saving over a DWG that CADaddy couldn't fully read now asks first, and keeps the original as a
.bak. Every save keeps the previous version as.bak. - A cut-off DXF opens with a warning instead of quietly missing objects.
- Read-only files aren't saved over, and saved files keep their permissions.
Fixes
- Architectural dimensions read
20'-0 1/2"(not20'-1/2"). - A dimension style comes back intact after DWG save and reopen.
- Viewport layer freezes are saved where other CAD programs read them.
- Mirrored blocks keep their attribute text readable.
- Typing works after clicking a drawing, layout or ribbon tab.
- Typing into a Properties field replaces its value.
- Properties no longer changes objects on locked layers.
- Esc closes dialogs.
- The AI connector's control port closes connections that send junk, and xref paths pointing to other computers are refused.
