The catalogue

Six disciplines. Millions of parts.

The catalogue is organised as parametric families, not as individual drawings. Each family below is one entry you search for, and the kernel generates hundreds or thousands of real parts from it — which is how a compact library holds tens of millions of components.

Mechanical531 families Screws, nuts, pins, washers, bearings, keys, bolts, semi-finished stock, forming
Plant engineering146 families Flanges, fittings, seals, bolt joints, threads, flow-sheet symbols
Architecture116 families Building elements, stairs, technical installations, pipes and ducts
Electrical114 families Switches, contactors and safeguards, measurement and control, components
Steel construction31 families Rolled sections and structural profiles
Fluid power22 families Conditioners, filters, lubricators and related symbols
Sheet formats6 families Drawing borders and title blocks

Family counts are chapters in the catalogue tree. Open one for a few of the standards it holds; the numbers beside a family are how many real sizes its own tables define.

Families and parts

One entry, a thousand components.

A family carries the size tables the standard defines, and the kernel generates the specific part when you choose one. A few of the larger ones:

FamilyWhat it isSizes
DIN 28011Torispherical dished ends4,111
DIN 976-1Studs and threaded rod1,744
DIN 6885 T1-2Parallel keys1,067
DIN 13Metric fine thread982
DIN 912Socket-head cap screws857
DIN 988Shim rings and washers700
DIN 933Hex bolts, fully threaded637

Sizes counted from each family's own tables. Most families also offer further choices — form, material, tolerance — on top of the size, and several views of each.

Standards

Metric and imperial, drawn to their own standard.

DIN, ISO, EN and DIN EN throughout, with ANSI, ASME, UNC, UNF and NPT families alongside them — drawn from their own tables rather than converted from a metric part, because a converted thread is not the thread.

Where a family is modelled on a standard rather than reproducing it exactly, the catalogue says so ("sim."), because that difference matters to whoever signs the drawing.
