Visio Stencil Forum?

[jogas]

As Visio seems to be getting so popular, and so much easier to learn/use verses CADD, why not create a Visio HVAC Stencil resource Hvactalk forum? That would save everyone a lot of time.

There is a thread buried somewhere that has an ftp link with a ton of stencils on it. If you cannot find it or the link is dead, shoot me an email as I have them all plus many I have created.

The forum will not allow attachments large enough to accommodate a lot of the Visio stencils.

[orion242]

Actually Codewriter has an FTP setup. It's about three threads below this one!!

Never mind it is apparently down. Hopefully Code will get this set back up.

[mechdorn]

I'd like to see the site restored, I’m sure we could all benefit and contribute to it.

I got the idea for this thread after not being able to connect to Codewriters EXCELLENT FTP post.

Like I said the forum will not allow files that large.

I have them all, send me an email and I'll pass a link to them.

[orion242]

Will do shortly.

Someone sent me another set of stencils, adding it to the file and uploading now.

[joey791]

cool, if I have something not in the group I'd be more than happy to share

[mechdorn]

Hello all,
I would like to take a peek at these stencils, where do I go.

[kevin stone]

If I could get a copy it would be greatly appreaciated.
thanks in advance

Orion -

Could you send me the stencils as well, thanks in advance.

[wolfo]

orion242,

Could you please send the link to me as well. I work with Visio all of the time, but my current stencils are out-dated. :(

Thanks,
Wolfo

[howard melvin]

Orion -

I haven't rec'd. the file yet, either.

[orion242]

you got mail

[frontline]

Would be possibe to send me the stencils as well? I have old ones and the need to be updated too.

thanks

[habs]

Could I also have them?

Thanks

[howard melvin]

you got mail

thx., appreciate the effort. Now all's i have to do is get a copy of visio to open it with.

[orion242]

no email in profile habs

[orion242]

Do to the overwhelming response for these I’m going to setup a new FTP for them. Should be up and running by tomorrow. If anyone has some they want to share you will be able to send them over.

This is a huge collection of stencils that covers many different parts and pieces. It will take some time for a person to sort them out and decide what they really want.

As I said before I cannot vouch for the copyright status on any of them. I will serve them up until the first cease and desist letter graces my email.

[habs]

Sorry, it is there now.

Thanks

[kevin stone]

Thanks for the effort and expense Alex it is greatly appreciated.
Being a Acad guy I have a heap to learn using Visio my first attempt to bring in some of my Acad stuff failed miserably but i think learning Visio will be worth it in th end.
thanks again

Importing Acad can be a pain. Visio sometimes chokes on layers and such. You may want to create a new dwg and merge everything you want in visio to a single layer and then import. The import in Visio will only work with certain versions of acad. Also make sure you save the drawing with everything visible before you import, ie zoom correct etc. You will have to RTFM, as my memory is fading on the import.

I find it pretty easy to take a pdf of the part I want and convert it to a picture. Then import it into visio. Put the picture on a layer by itself and lock it. Then just trace over it. I can usually whip up a fairly complicated part in 30 minutes this way, but I'm pretty good with the drawing tools in Visio.

What I would like to know is how to make "smart shapes". I have several that I can drag on the page, right click and turn them into just about anything. These are very useful for airflow diagrams. Drop several sensors on the duct, then right click and define temp sensor, fstat, damper, humidistat, etc.

[kevin stone]

Does anybody have a stencil for any of the tridium products
403, 201 i/o module ect
thanks
Kevin

[DPSwitch]

Hey Orion. I cant get connected to that FTP........ can you link me up with where its at?

Thanks.

[DPSwitch]

never mind it worked.... my bad.

[osiyo]

For anyone interested. I noticed some folks were having a hard time downloading from Orion242's FTP site. I also noticed that some of the stencils were saved in Visio 2003 format and in some previous posts some folks had mentioned they needed stencils in 2000/2002 format.

So check here:

http://www.esnips.com/user/osiyo53

and look for the folder named "Visio Stuff".

There you'll find copies of Orion's collection. In 2000/2002 format.

[orion242]

Well first hint is not to use a web browser to FTP. They will default to anonymous logons and get promptly banned for an hour after 5 failures. Sorry, but I have to defend against plenty of pricks.

Get filezilla as a free ftp client. It has plenty of features that you will not find in any browser, and it will not default to anon connections.

http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client

Plenty of people have happily connected, most (95%) failures have been anonymous logons that keep retrying till they get banned.

Correct. And in fact I use Filezilla. Used it to download your collection.

Nor do I intend for my site to replace yours as the better place for getting, and keeping, collections of Visio stencils. I'm unlikely to keep the Visio collection at my site updated. Not the reason I started an account at that site.

[joey791]

orions dead on, get filezilla. IE7 will not let you connect to a FTP site and currently there is no fix

[uxbridge]

Thanks orion

Here is a link to tekmars visio stencil page.

http://http://www.tekmarcontrols.com/design.html

I just got visio installed today and I am trying to figure out how to import all of these stencils/shapes. I am about to do my first Honeywell rapid zone and I would like to make the documentation with visio.

Bill

[orion242]

Typically Visio stores all the stencils in

My Documents / My Shapes

You can just copy the .vss files in there and then open them. You can use folders to group and organize them under the My Shapes folder.

.vsx files are stencils also, just in the XML format.

[jd 07]

I IE 7 just follow the directions it worked fine for me.:cool::cool:
FTP root at hvac08.serveftp.net
To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer.

[codewriter]

hahaha, you said "follow the directions"... Imagine that!

Is this still up?

I haven't tried in a while but can't get in now.

[orion242]

Shoot me a pm or email

[tektrik]

Hey Orion,

Is that visio stencil still up, cause I am also looking for some useful shapes to use for HVAC and controls. If you can hit me up with the link, that would be great.

Thanks,

[crab master]

check out osiyo's site - http://www.esnips.com/web/Visio-Stuff

it has orions stuff


The ftp site orion mentioned earlier was still down as of the time of this post

[tlp261]

Does anyone have stencils for the Honeywell MicroSpyders they would share? The ones on the Buildings Forum are crap.

[rgehle]

I'm looking for the stencils can someone send them to me?

[osiyo]

I'm looking for the stencils can someone send them to me?

If I send you stencils of stop signs ... would that be adequate?

What, precisely, did you have in mind when saying "the stencils"?

It helps if you're a bit more specific.

Most of the folks in these forums tend to be helpful and do what they can for you. But none are mind readers.

Try looking at the link in my signature, if the Visio folder does not contain what you're after, try asking again. But state specifically what you're looking for.

[rawfish]

Orion would you be able to send me these stencils?


Will do shortly.

[orion242]

give me a few and I'll post usendit links.

they only work for 10 downloads or 7 days though....

Good morning. I would like a copy of the mentioned hvac items for visio as well. I have included my email address in my profile or I can download it if there is a link. I appreciate your time and effort and your willingness to share with the community.

Hi, esnips is having issues - can't make an account. The site seems like a spam site. Anyway you can throw these into a dropbox? I can make the dropbox account. Thanks, Rob.

Hmm, dropbox may not work as I intended. Any ideas BESIDES E****s?

I haven't updated or even looked at that eSnips site in some time. A year or two?

The torqued me out with constant changes, requiring special apps to upload or etc, and were horrendously slow.

The very same files Orion was pointing to in his post you'll find at Windows Live.

Just click on the link in the signature portion of this post.

Look for the Visio folder, click on it. Download whatever you want.

[paulir]

I would be happy to donate a few gig on my FTP site for Visio lovers to share! Let me know, I think I have all the eSnip files also. If a bunch wants, i' ll get it set up!

That is pretty generous. I am sure a lot of us would benefit from that.

What a great resource. Thanks! Are you happy with the content or would you like some suggestions as I run across some good material?

Hi Orion can you please send me the Visio Stencils? It would be much Appretiated mate.

[mallron]

Just wanted to thank everyone that contributed to the stencils offered in this thread.

[tburlage]

I have just joined this forum. Was there more stencils that were shared other then the public visio folder offered by Osiyo?
I too, would greatly appreciate it.

[hvacpilot]

5 years later, just started doing graphics and learning visio. If anyone has any visio stencils they don't mind sharing, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
