   I'm looking for 3D meter blocks of all kinds (turbine, orifice, mass flow etc.) in as many sizes and ratings as possible.Would be even better if these blocks had "intelligence" compatible with CadWorx, but I'll take what I can get.

The need for these keeps coming up and I just haven't been able to find time to create them myself.

I've acquired lots of blocks over the years that I'd be more than willing to share in exchange.

Anyone out there have a secret stash of meters?

	Hello, meters or not meters that's not the question. I don't know CadWorx but with Autocad you can set your files with an "insertion scale" in the "DDUNITS" panel factor that will insert in your file an other file or block with the right value. For the meters/feet conversion, see the free softawre "convert.exe ( only 4 kb ) or school books. I'm working in an erection company so I've drawn 3D blocks in relation with the subject that's to say screws, shakles, hooks, lifting lugs, winches etc... I don't know your needs. Hope this will help. Ask for more.

	He asked about flowmeters drawings not about conversion tool.

	No worries. Thanks for the reply regardless. And thanks to kszyho for clearing things up! EDIT Philippe - CadWorx is a third party design program that runs in conjunction with AutoCAD, and is mainly used for 3D piping design (it has structural components as well). Very similar to PDMS or SmartPlant, but less comprehensive and considerably cheaper. Edited by Neighbourino - 21.Sep.2011 at 18:04
