need standard xox sliding glass window

Anonymous
Not applicable
Never have been able to find a xox slider in our libs
(operable sliding windows which slide in towards the center fixed glass section in the middle. I am using ac 7 still because i only have 256 ram and 650 mhz prossesor
with windows 2000 pro. could someone please e mail this lib part to me or advise how to find it.

In my neck of the woods this is one of the most commonly used windows, very standard, and preffered by myself over the xo version that ac provides.
for years I have been manualy changing this to a xox
in 2d line on my elevations.

Thank you

This is "W Gliding3 81" in the 8.1 library (not downwards compatible with 7.0, unfortunately).

Looking back into the 7.0 library, I didn't realize how many things had been added in 8.1... as well as better organization (why the double slider is in the 'casement' folder in 7.0 is beyond me).

Can you make do with the "W Triple Sash 70" window in the Casement Windows 70 folder? The 2D symbol looks OK (a bit odd, actually, but OK); if you turn 'opening line in 3D on', it shows hinging (of course), so you could just leave that off and draw the slide arrows manually if those are required in elevations?
