Amp layout graphics?
« on: December 09, 2022, 08:24:03 am »
Greetings all. New to board, and getting into amp building.

I have seen a lot of very nice amp wiring diagram layout graphics (not schematics), that look like they were done in Visio, or a similar program.
I am wanting to do my own custom layouts, and would love to create similar layout docs.

Does anyone know where to procure the graphic object collection(s) that people use to create these?

Thanks for any and all input!

My Visio shapes are on my website. Click the world icon below my name.

Here's an example of what you can do with my shapes...

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Visio is the best (by far), and Sluckey is its master for certain.

I don't have easy access to Visio now, so instead have been using DIYLC.   It gets the job done, though it is not nearly as pretty.    The good thing about DIYLC is that the turret boards you design can then be (beautifully) produced by Doug.

If there is an easier (ie, less expensive and dependable) way to have Visio available, I would use it.
