Microsoft VISIO for circuit drawing 1

[emiusa]

I use Visio 2000 Technical for circuit drawing, test setup diagrams, etc. It's great for that. It comes with some basic electronic components: xistors, xformers, general IC's, but none of the useful basic logic gates such as NOR, NAND, etc. Does anyone know of sources to download libraries of shapes for Visio so you don't have to create all them yourself? Appreciate the help.

If you have the electrical engineering templates, then yuo should have the "Analog and Digital Logic" template, which contains an "AND" gate that can be programmed for up to 5 inputs, and OR|XOR|XNOR|NAND|NOR|AND.

IRstuff is right. That's the answer - I didn't look deep enough inside the symbols. Thanks. I would sitll like to know if there are any sources for symbol libaries out there.

There was some piping and some UML related stuff, but not that many people get around to publishing their customized templates.

Hi,

The following website has some RF stencils for download, I think there is a very small cost though.

there are other websites out there that have other stencils that people have made themselves for free download, its just a case of trawling through the internet.

Hope this helps
