The Symbols - hydraulics and pneumatics command contains elements that are used in creation of hydraulics and pneumatics schemes.
Creating installation schemes is associated with drawing lines, inserting symbols and describing drawings. CADprofi program gives to the designer, the appropriate commands, that make it easier to describe scheme elements, thanks to which it is possible to create BOMs from the symbols and lines that are used in projects.
An exemplary scheme
All symbols available in CADprofi program are being inserted as blocks, which can be copied, deleted or edited with the use of standard CAD program commands. Most symbols can be also edited with the use of CADprofi editing commands such as: Quick edit, Edit symbols and Delete symbols.
Symbols are often used to graphically represent real devices, armature and other installations elements, therefore it is possible to add technical parameters, about the products used in the project, to the symbols (Attributes and descriptions command), as well as numbering and symbols' marks. This information can be used when describing drawings when creating graphical legends or specifications.
Program possesses several options that make it easier to insert symbols in the drawing.

‘Insert symbol’ option
This is the default option that allows to insert symbols in any point or into a line indicated by user. When inserting symbols into lines, the symbol insertion angle depends on the line angle (the angle specified in the dialog box is being ignored).
6 Procedures
1. Select the symbols from any library.
2. Click the Insert symbol button. The library dialog window will close allowing insertion of symbol into the drawing.
3. Point into a line, in which you would like to insert the symbol.
4. (Optional) Click anywhere in the drawing to insert a symbol.
5. (Optional) Specify the rotation angle of inserted symbol - this option is available only if user has selected the Rotate option in the library dialog window.

Insert in any point |
‘Into point’ option
The Into point option may be used when it is necessary to insert the symbol in a point that lies on a line, but in such a way that the symbol won't "adjust itself to the line". In this option, the inserted symbol "ignores" the line, so it does not break it and it does not take angle from it. This option is used in many situations for example when inserting sensors, which usually need to touch lines.

In the landscape of modern fighting games, few franchises carry the weight of deliberate, high-stakes combat quite like Samurai Shodown. SNK’s legendary series, rebooted in 2019, returned to its roots: a slow, methodical clash where a single slash can decide the match. However, for many players, the entry point to this revival is not a physical disc or a standard digital download, but a specific file format known as the NSP. Examining the phenomenon of the Samurai Shodown NSP reveals much about the tension between game preservation, console hacking, and the ethics of modern gaming.
First, it is essential to understand what an NSP file represents. NSP stands for "Nintendo Submission Package," the digital format used by Nintendo Switch games. Unlike a cartridge dump (XCI), an NSP is the equivalent of a game downloaded directly from the Nintendo eShop. Therefore, a Samurai Shodown NSP is a decrypted or repackaged version of the game intended to be run on custom firmware (CFW) or emulators like Ryujinx or Yuzu. For the average consumer, this file is inaccessible. For a niche community of enthusiasts, it is a tool for preservation and accessibility.
The appeal of the Samurai Shodown NSP lies in pragmatism. The Switch version of Samurai Shodown, while visually compromised compared to PlayStation or PC builds, offers unmatched portability. An NSP file allows players to store the entire game—including its substantial DLC characters like Haohmaru or the Warrior’s Den season passes—on an SD card. For travelers or those without constant internet access, owning a local, bootable file of the game ensures that the "one-hit kill" tension of a duel between Ukyo Tachibana and Nakoruru is always available, even offline. Furthermore, in an era of delisted games (a fate that has befallen other SNK titles), an archived NSP can act as a final defense against digital obsolescence.
However, the ethical and legal ground here is razor-thin, much like a blade forged by the game’s own Haohmaru. Distributing Samurai Shodown NSP files without purchasing the base game is software piracy, which directly harms SNK—a company that has historically struggled financially and relies on legitimate sales to continue reviving classic IPs. The developers spent years perfecting the "Dramatic Slash" mechanic and the Rage Gauge; bypassing payment devalues that labor. Yet, there is a counter-argument: many users who seek NSP files already own a physical or legal digital copy. For them, the NSP is a "backup" to avoid carrying cartridges or to mod the game (adding widescreen hacks or character tweaks). In this light, the NSP is a neutral tool—a file container—whose morality depends entirely on the user’s intent.
Technically, playing Samurai Shodown via an NSP on an emulator also offers a unique benefit: preservation of performance. The Switch hardware often struggles to maintain 60fps in the game’s busier stages. On a powerful PC emulating the NSP, players can upscale the resolution to 4K and force stable framerates, essentially creating a "definitive" portable version that SNK never officially released. This act of technical optimization is a form of love for the game, even if it operates in a legal gray zone.
In conclusion, the Samurai Shodown NSP is more than just a pirated file; it is a symptom of a fractured digital ecosystem. It represents players’ desire for control, portability, and permanence in a market that increasingly offers only rental-like licenses. While one should always support official releases to ensure SNK continues producing sequels, the existence of the NSP conversation highlights a fundamental truth about gaming in the 2020s: where there is a blade worth wielding, there will always be a user seeking to unsheathe it on their own terms. The challenge for developers is to make the legal path as sharp and satisfying as the illegal one.

In the late 18th century (the Tenmei Era), Japan is a land of paradox: a beautiful island chain gripped by famine, ruin, and an unnatural, creeping dread. While the Shogunate struggles with internal power shifts, a sinister cloud descends, and the spirit of a young woman named Shizuka Gozen
—possessed and trapped in the underworld—threatens to consume the nation in darkness.
