RF & Electronics Stencils for Visio

With more than 1000 custom-built stencils, this has got to be the most comprehensive set of Visio Stencils available for RF, analog, and digital system and schematic drawings! Every stencil symbol has been built to fit proportionally on the included A-, B-, and C-size drawing page templates (or use your own page if preferred). Components are provided for system block diagrams, conceptual drawings, schematics, test equipment, racks (EIA 19", ETSI 21"), and more. Test equipment and racks are built at a 1:1 scale so that measurements can be made directly using Visio built-in dimensioning objects. Page templates are provided with a preset scale (changeable) for a good presentation that can incorporate all provided symbols...

RF & Electronics Symbols for Office™

It was a lot of work, but I finally finished a version of the "RF & Electronics Schematic & Block Diagram Symbols" that works well with Microsoft Office™ programs Word™, Excel™, and Power Point™. This is an equivalent of the extensive set of amplifier, mixer, filter, switch, connector, waveguide, digital, analog, antenna, and other commonly used symbols for system block diagrams and schematics created for Visio™. Each of the 1,000 or so symbols was exported individually from Visio in the EMF file format, then imported into Word on a Drawing Canvas. The EMF format allows an image to be scaled up or down without becoming pixelated, so all the shapes can be resized in a document and still look good. The imported symbols can also be UnGrouped into their original constituent parts for editing. Check them out!

RF & Electronics Symbols for Visio

With more than 1000 custom-built symbols, this has got to be the most comprehensive set of Visio Symbols available for RF, analog, and digital system and schematic drawings! Every object has been built to fit proportionally on the provided A-, B- and C-size drawing page templates (or can use your own). Symbols are provided for equipment racks and test equipment, system block diagrams, conceptual drawings, and schematics. Unlike previous versions, these are NOT Stencils, but instead are all contained on tabbed pages within a single Visio document. That puts everything in front of you in its full glory. Just copy and paste what you need on your drawing. The file format is XML so everything plays nicely with Visio 2013 and later...

Non-standard fonts are highly discouraged in web pages because having them render properly requires that the user either have the fonts installed locally or fonts must be on the web server to be downloaded and used. The former relies on change, the latter on the willingness of the user to wait for the fonts to download and install just to see what is usually an unnecessary embellishment (i.e., a standard font would have done the job).

These two fonts, on the other hand, might justify the trouble. The nice thing about carrelec.tff and elecsym1.tff (TrueType Font) is that they present often used electronics symbols in a scalable format. Building an actual schematic or block diagram out of them would be difficult because of alignment issues, but if you need a symbol as part of a report or white paper, then using these fonts might be advantageous. In the table below, I have entered each keyboard character and its corresponding electronic symbol in each of the two graphic fonts. Note that there are both lower and upper case symbols. Font sizes are indicated as well so you can see how much the designer's preferences determine how they are rendered. You can apply the ‘bold' formatting, but they symbols get chunky with it. If you plan to use them, you will probably want to print out this page to have a readily available cross-reference.
