(and doors and windows etc.)

I'm going to draw up a floorplan of where and what I want re-wired

thanx


p.s. you've all prolly seen this before but made I larf

I use Microsoft Paint for simple electronic schematics. 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.

You mean you want to look at some, or you want to download a set for a
particular drawing application?

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.

I'll draw the plans on bits of graph paper and add the details, all by hand

I might have a go at that if it all gets too messy, trying to get 3D out of
2D

Take care! 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 ...

It might have been helpful if you'd said you wanted a 3D solution in the first
place ...

They look really weird to me. For my own notes I use a
triangle for a socket outlet
square for a switch
circle for a light fitting

that's a kind of a joke

it'll be 2D

my plan is more of a thumbnail sketch/aide memoire for his costing

I plan to do all the chase ork myself, after I've consulted the electrician

- I'll prolly have to give him a 'consultation fee' as he accompanies me
round the rooms with an aerosol
that will be used to mark out sockets, cable runs etc.
