Has anyone tried using Visio to draw their schematic? It looks like it will

work but I'm not finding much in the way of automotive symbols i.e.

solenoids relays etc. 

Can anyone recommend a free or cheap program for this?

Thanks, Tim Andres

Hi Tim.

Go here: www.vx-aviation.com and follow the link near the top of the page 

for the free schematic software, library and design example from my RV-9A. 

Doesn't have everything but it's very easy to create symbols on the fly.



Thanks,

Vern Little

I have used Visio a lot and re-drawn many of the symbols- I can let you have

my 'library page' if you'd like.



I use Visio a lot so I found it pretty useful to draw the schematics as

well.

If you are able to make available your library of Visio symbols that would be appreciated.  I have a Visio one off aircraft symbols that I got of the net that I am happy to share (the file extension .VSS is not permitted for attachments) - contact to email.

Hi there Peter,



I have sent what I have to you via your email address; you can also convert

the dwg files that Bob supplies, although I find that using them after

conversion is not easy. If anyone else wants what I have (not much..) then

mail me directly.



Jay

Hi Tim,



Here's mine, all done in Visio.........



I started off by importing Bob's CAD drawings and then converting them. I then went about "cleaning" up the less than perfect result and saving the individual components as "groups". After that, drag and drop and copy and paste works a charm in Visio.



Would you like a copy of the source?



Andrew.

I'm using that product too and like it a lot.  A belated Thanks Vern!



If anyone installs it and wants a sample, I'd be glad to share my 

schematics. (but you have to have the SCH tool installed to view it)

My drawings all in visio here.

 http://mstewart.net/super8/visio/S8Panelandwiringr1.vsd

 

 or if you want to peruse the html version on a browser here.

 http://mstewart.net/super8/visio/n687msvisio_files.htm

 

 I keep the html version up so when Im on the raod with a problem, I can access all my connector pin outs and things.

 

 Enjoy,

 Mike

Bill,



To make Visio drawings viewable by everyone save them as .jpg files (Save

as, and then scroll nearly to the bottom of the menu).

Some confusion here perhaps.  I'm not using Visio - rather I'm using the 

ExpressSCH product that Vern has linked to at his site.  It does have a 

bitmap export function which I just tried and attached the results. 



Looks like that works ok.



I've never used Visio.  I tried just using Powerpoint which I'm 

proficient in but didn't care for the results.   I tried Turbocad but 

found it to be overkill.



ExpressSCH is one half of a package that appears to support circuit 

board design and prototyping.  I found it simple to use. Part of it's 

attraction is that it 'knows' it is an electrical diagram so the overall 

design is consistent with the task at hand.
