In V50/V51 we consolidated all the hanger details (and fittings, riser details, etc) into group drawings. To create your own hanger detail it is probably best to modify one we already have. From the CLEANUP toolbar, select the second button (which is a flyout) and select Hanger Details. This will open a drawing containing all the details we have.
Lets say you want to use a Hilti HDI-P fasteners. Since HydraCAD does not have a hanger with that fastener, find one that is close. The fifth hanger uses a Hilti Shield. This looks close enough, so it will be easy to modify it. Change the text to say Hilti HDI-P (you may need to explode the hanger block, first). Then SAVE this drawing. It is a good idea to make a backup of this drawing as well, in case we update it. Next time you pick the Hanger Details command, your version will come up. Add your hanger number in between the 'Typical' and 'Hanger' words.
Note - To insert these hanger details into your drawing, select what you want, pick the Edit->Copy with Basepoint command and select the base point you want. In your target drawing, pick the Edit->Paste command.
