Does anybody have experience with putting architectural types of symbology in SW drawings? I need to be able to put in column numbers, preferably in a balloon format, but I also need them inside a part sketch so that the remainder of the building can be modeled based on the column data. Think of a skeleton sketch with a grid representing column locations, where columns will be placed at intersections.
Second, I need to be able to do blocks for other symbols required in an architectural drawing, such as the large view indicator arrows that are used in architectural detail drawings to indicate elevation views, which I intend to do with projected views, which will not even be on the same sheet, thus the need for view indicator arrows. I figured there must be a library available or a partner product that could make these types of symbols available in SW, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there. I know SW is not geared for architectural, but the industry that I want to use it in is straddling the mechanical and architectural worlds, and 3D would really help.
