I am looking for a broader range of electric and electronic symbols for use in electrical component and product design. Can anyone offer any ideas or suggestions where we can source these in VWX format or possibly DWF/DWG for import.

Thanks for that. I am about to download neatworkz but it looks as though it could be really useful.

Have successfully downloaded some symbols from Ray's suggestion and they imported (and edited) in VW 2009.

Pat

I have to thank you for referring me to Neatworkz. It is absolutely brilliant. Ignore the fact that it is primarily (at first sight at least) a tool for the Audio Visual / TV Studio market. It can easily be applied to other electrical applications and it is remarkably easy to create your own symbols. In comparison to Autocad Electrical it offers far greater control over positionning of circuits and the overall look and feel of the drawing.

The new video demonstration on www.neatworkz.tv is excellent for seeing the capability of the product.
