Dia is a general tool and there is enough native function for you to make a good looking electrical schematic. You need to get all the symbol/shape sheets installed. (You are going to want Electric, Electric 1, Circuit, and Circuit 1 for starters). You would draw wires primarily with the zigzag lines. Symbol that are not available in the pre-existing sheets you would construct, group and copy yourself.
There is too much more that can be said for a short answer. After you experiment a bit, you can ask more specific questions. Or if installation doesn't go well... etc. M On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 7:06 AM, Arigead <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > I'm new here and haven't lurked, as yet, but wanted to ask a question > about adding a new diagram type to Dia.
