Some of the symbols came from the internet but it's not too difficult to create your own. If you use a high zoom level - View/Zoom/Custom - you can easily make some quite intricate symbols which look really good at normal magnification. Simply use copy and paste to generate multiple copies of the symbols and draw the lines between them. -- Terry |

The best-known diagramming program is Microsoft Visio which comes with lots of symbol in templates. If you don't want to pay for Visio then take a look at an open-source program called Dia. It is available in Linux and Windows. Yes, I use Dia and have found it's quite quick to learn well enough to use for circuit diagrams and such. -- Chris Green |

On this page, http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technica...ols/PageE6.htm the symbol shown as 'Slow Operating Relay - Delay On' is actually a Coaxial Socket. The 'Slow Operating Relay - Delay On' re-appears on http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technica...ls/PageE10.htm but as it's not really my field [1], I can't say if that one is really right or wrong ... The Rectifier and Inverter symbols on this page: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technica...ls/PageE12.htm should use THIS symbol '~' to denote AC (as used in some of the other symbols). [1] My field is electronics, rather than electrical. No doubt, if there are other errors, somebody with better knowledge in the electrical field will tell you ... -- Terry |
