    I think Autocad 2002 has some as standard apart from that there's some site's which will charge you about $30 for a set of symbols.
    Just get a reference book and copy them, stick a bunch of attrib thingies on them to make your life easier and you're laughing.

    Or on a sidenote suppliers can give you a huge amount of symbols and tools.
    Forget the real name now but +GF+ do a lot steelwork parts, unions, T piece's, pipework, regulators, governors, etc
    They include programs in their parts catalogue (if you ask) that works out how much piping you've used and draws up an order form for you within the drawing.
    It's all autolisp stuff so works fine with autocad.
    Unfortunately the last time I had a copy the symbol blocks were all DXF files which was rather annoying for inserting into a drawing.

    open up outlook express
    go to tools and select newsgroups
    It'll give you a big list running into the 1000's
    type in autocad in the little box and it'll tell you the names of all the newsgroups that are autocad related.
    Then just choose subscribe to whichever you want and it'll be in your folders window in outlook.
    edit: alt.cad.autocad looks okay.
