Unbeknownst to many, HydraCAD has a series of training drawings (templates, actually) to help users learn to draw and to give examples of common drawing situations. They are accessed by picking the HydraTools pulldown menu, pick Tools and pick Training Drawings: We add new drawings every now and then. The current list is.

A Look at the HydraCAD Training Drawings Unbeknownst to many, HydraCAD has a series of training drawings (templates, actually) to help users learn to draw and to give examples of common drawing situations. They are accessed by picking the HydraTools pulldown menu, pick Tools and pick Training Drawings: We add new drawings every now and then. Private web training and consultation is available for customers who desire a personal training option. Typical cost for a 1-2 hour session is $500, for up to 10 attendees. For details contact However, we suggest that you first review the large selection of pre-recorded sessions, which have been found to cover 99% of all training requirements.

I'm looking for someone who uses autocad 2008 with a sister program called hydracad used for designing overhead fire sprinkler systems. my problem is that my rapid line features have changed suddenly. the arrow that shows where you can break a line or go to a sprinkler head is now so small i can't see it unless i zoom in alot. if this makes sense to anyone let me know. i've contacted autocad and hydracad and they have given me nothing!!
Thermal Sciences

Mr. Nava applies fire protection engineering and fire science principles to the analysis of active and passive fire protection and life safety systems, consumer product performance, material fire performance, and origin and cause investigation of residential, commercial, and industrial fires and explosions. Mr. Nava's training and practice experience includes design and testing of automatic sprinkler systems, fire pumps, design of inert gas and clean agent fire suppression systems, building life safety systems, building smoke management systems, national, state, and local fire and building code compliance, material fire performance, fire testing, fire origin and cause investigations, occupant egress modeling (Pathfinder), and human burn and thermal injuries caused by fire incidents and thermal events.
Mr. Nava uses his diverse background to investigate failures of wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge automatic sprinkler systems in residential, commercial, storage, manufacturing and industrial occupancies, including root cause failure analysis, water infrastructure and supply analysis, hydrant flow testing, sprinkler system water demand and water delivery analysis through hydraulic calculations, construction and as-builts drawing review, inspection, testing, and maintenance requirement analysis, coordination with facility mechanical and HVAC systems, and review of system compliance with applicable codes. This includes failures of automatic sprinkler systems to operate or perform in the event of a fire and inadvertent operation due to rust/oxidation, freezing, excessive heating, and mechanical damage. In addition, Mr. Nava has investigated fires involving operational failure of commercial cooking fire protection equipment (wet chemical systems and dry chemical systems), commercial cooking ventilation systems (hood, duct work, fans), vehicle fire suppression systems, fire alarm and detection systems, fire extinguishers, and consumer products including unit and space heaters, LED light bulbs, tubes, and fixtures, clothing irons, plastic fuel storage cans, dishwashers, microwaves, and low-pressure boilers. Mr. Nava has also investigated explosions and fires involving failures of natural gas and liquefied petroleum (LP) regulators, gas piping systems, and cylinders. His experience also includes the evaluation, inspection, and maintenance of buildings, facilities, and products for code compliance in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, International Code Council (ICC) codes, and state/local codes.

Mr. Nava has both small- and large-scale fire testing experience with nationally and internationally recognized standards (NFPA, ASTM, and UL). In the Exponent Thermal Characterization Lab, he manages and executes testing, fabricates test equipment and test setups, and is proficient at installing various types of instrumentation to measure temperature, heat flux, pressure, liquid flow rate, wind speed, and gas concentrations for fire tests.
Previous research he participated in includes the design of a toxic gas monitor for use by firefighters in an active fire environment, flame spread modeling of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) building materials, cone calorimeter test sample size validation, and the effects of intumescent paint coatings on interior building finish to achieve compliance during fire testing.
Prior to joining Exponent, Mr. Nava worked as a Fire Protection System Design Engineer at a fire protection sprinkler contractor in the Boston area, where he performed fire protection system designs, hydraulic calculations, system testing, and design coordination with architects and plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades. Mr. Nava also worked as an engineer at the Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent, Maryland, where he was responsible for human aviator equipment maintenance, testing, and validation.
