mechanical stencil

[YS Lee]

Where can I get the mechanical stencil for gears and timing pulleys.

Depending on your version and edition, you should be able to find a Gear
shape by using the Search for Shapes on the left Shapes pane in Visio. If
you have Visio Professional 2003 or 2007 it should be under Mechanical
Engineering/Springs and Bearings stencil (it's under Engineering in 2007).

I don't think there's a pulley shape in Visio or on Visio Web Shapes (what
Visio searches when you're connected to Internet). At least I didn't find
anything by searching for 'pulley'.

I'd checkout http://visio.mvps.org/3rdparty.htm, it's a good one stop shop
for Visio shapes that you cannot find in Visio.

Adding to Aaron's advice, I also couldn't find any pulley shapes, but I
wonder if the 'Circle tangents' shape (found under File / Shapes / Visio
Extras / Drawing Tool Shapes would work for you?

Best regards
