Has anyone seen a template or shape for automotive type electrical components? I need to do an electrical schematic for a vehicle and even the commercial shapes and templates I have found don't seem to include automotive style components.
thanks
peter-
Hi Dot, maybe you saw my electrical shapes (Sandrila Ltd). I'd love to add some shapes for automotive (and aviation etc) electrical diagrams. Can you point me to where I might find these shapes?
You do realize, that there is a strong possibility that there may not be a universal symbol for the automotive market place. And, I don't there is a commonality among U.S. car makers.
Perhaps a good source would be an after-market publication that addresses various car models. Might more of a universal symbol thru out a given publishers domain.
Here's a link, though: http://www.google.com/images?q=automotive+electrical+symbols&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=fn3wS7WyNIGOswPu2uT5Dw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CDEQsAQwAw
Here are some examples.

These are in a package that is a competitor of Visio. I d/l their demo and their symbols are mostly like what I need, although incomplete. But the drawing in the program isn't as good for a number of reasons as Visio, not the least of which is the connecting lines and so here I am.
another example:

I realize these aren't universal, but if there were just shapes for things like injectors, batteries, spark plugs etc that would be great.
thanks
Ok, thanks. I shall take a look at what can be done.
Is this the type of shape group you were searching
Yes. Thats a good start. There are quite a few missing though.
Thanks
