Help on Pipe fitting solutions for solidworks

[GasDistEng]

I have been an AutoCad user for years. A year ago my company purchased an AutoCAD add-on called Mech-Q pipe. This add on gives you a number of fittings (in 2d & 3d) welded, threaded, etc .... elbows, flanges, tees, threadolets, etc... My company is thinking of making the jump to SW. I've poked around the web and get the feeling that SW-Piping does not have the best fittings library...

Is this true? Are there other SW options for pipe fittings. Add-ons made by other developers? Online library?

Thanks

Routing is SW latest Piping package. It contains Piping and Electrical harneses. It's all included whether you need it or not. The Pipe fittings I think are fine. They have pleanty of COnfiguratiosn and if you need more you can make them. If you have custom fittings, that's fine too. They are easy to add to your Piping palette parts.

You can Download other peoples files from the web too. check out the FAQ on websites. Also check out

http://www.3dcpntectcentral.com

and if you have access to the SW website (through Subscription Support) there are other models there too on Piping.

I used it before it was routing and I liked it for the short time I used it.

Thanks Sbaugh-

Is the link that you posted correct? I can't get to that site.

You might try CADRegister.com, it's part of the Thomas Register.

Not the library, but capable CAD system - this is what you are looking for. Since your company already purchased AutoCAD add-in (fittings library), SW can easily take it too. No sweat.

http://www.3dcontentcentral.com

is a good site too as mentioned above.
