We are in the process of creating some “IKEA-like” assembly instructions for some of our products. Does anybody have a cool set of instruction icons, like “drill here”, "use screw-driver ", “use wrench”, “two-people to carry”, “careful”, “don’t put head into microwave” type stuff?
There are some solutions for your petition, all of them require you to download the jpg file of the symbols, the classic and more tedious is to trace them on top using sketchup, layout or a cad software, the second option is to use illustrator or Inkscape to trace them and fix the mistakes it could make manually, and the latest and best solution for me in the past months is to use AI to convert jpg or png files to vectors with a lot less mistakes than the ones generated by Inkscape or illustrator. I’ll leave the link for one of the AI’s I use
Thanks @bmike@francisquitof for your fast reply. I know how to do that, of course. It’s a bit of a shame that we have the warehouse for 3D (and Materials by now) but not for Scrapbooks. I bet there are thousands of wasted hours in the Sketchup community of people basically building the same collections of 2D Objects. It would be wonderful to be able to easily share these with each other, like with the Warehouse. Ok - so, the answer is:
I’m guessing most of these types of symbols are used in vector / page layout programs by graphic designers… of which LayOut is probably not used at all, so regardless of the ability to easily share Scrapbooks, you probably still have to create this specific on…
