[libreoffice-users] Drawing electrical symbols

Hello,

sorry for the late response, I didn't get the email. No, I wouldn't like to
draw a electrical schematic for creating a pcb like KiCad, Eagle .... I
would like to draw pictures for my bachelor thesis. In draw it's easier to
draw arrows, change color of paths and some other nice things.
It would be great, when there is a possibility to draw complex symbols in
draw but without the automatically set glue points on the border of the
quadratic outline of the group, because with them it connects everytime to
the wrong points when I set glue points in the group.

Best regard

Martin

Martin,

This sounds like using the
wrong tool.  Have you looked at gEDA:

http://www.geda-project.org/

What you want is gschem, the
schematic capture application.  I use it
all the time for drawing schematics, and it
includes a symbol library,
however, your
own symbols are easily created and used.  You don't say

what your OS is, but there is a windows
version of gEDA available.

HTH.
