Create an electrical engineering diagram

Use the Electrical Engineering drawing type to create electrical and electronic schematic diagrams.

On the File menu, point to New, point to Engineering, and then click one of the following:

• Basic Electrical
• Circuits and Logic
• Industrial Control Systems
• Systems

These templates open an unscaled drawing page in portrait orientation . You can change these settings at any time.

Drag electrical component shapes onto the drawing page. Shapes can have data. You can enter shape data and add new data to a shape.

Enter shape data

Select a shape, and then on the context menu, click Property.

In the Shape Property dialog box, click in each item and type or select a value.

Connect electrical components using the Connector tool or connector shapes

1. Use the Connector tool

Click the Connector tool.

Drag from a connection point on the first shape to a connection point on the second shape. The connector endpoints turn red when the shapes are connected.

2. Use connector shapes

Drag a connector shape onto the drawing page.

Place the connector's begin point on the parent shape (the shape you¡¯re connecting from).

Place the connector's end point on the child shape (the shape you¡¯re connecting to).

When the connector is glued to the shapes, the endpoints turn red.

Add Text to the select shape

Label individual electrical component shapes by selecting the shape and typing.

Modify the property of symbols

Select SPST switch then click the Set switch position item in the context menu.

In the Shape Data dialog, choose a switch position.

So you can change the switch position by the predefined shape data.
