Electrical Drawing Software and Electrical Symbols

An electrical drawing, is a type of technical drawing that shows information about power, lighting, and communication for an engineering or architectural project.

Electrical drawing software will assist you in drawing your electrical diagrams using standard electrical symbols, it minimize efforts and makes it very easy for beginners. Electrical symbols and smart connectors help present your:

  • Electronic Circuits
  • Automotive Wiring
  • Electrical Schematics
  • Electrical Wiring
  • Cabling Layout Diagrams
  • Electrical Layouts
  • Circuits and Logic Schematics
  • Logic Gate Diagrams
  • Blue Prints
  • Digital Circuits
  • Parallel Circuits

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful software for creating professional looking electrical circuits quick and easy. For this purpose you can use the Electrical Engineering solution from the "Engineering" area of ConceptDraw Solution Park, it include thousands of electrical symbols.

A database is a data collection, structured into some conceptual model. Two most common approaches of developing data models are UML diagrams and ER-model diagrams. There are several notations of entity-relationship diagram symbols and their meaning is slightly different. Crow’s Foot notation is quite descriptive and easy to understand, meanwhile, the Chen notation is great for conceptual modeling. An entity relationship diagrams look very simple to a flowcharts. The main difference is the symbols provided by specific ERD notations. There are several models applied in entity-relationship diagrams: conceptual, logical and physical. Creating an entity relationship diagram requires using a specific notation. There are five main components of common ERD notations: Entities, Actions, Attributes, Cardinality and Connections. The two of notations most widely used for creating ERD are Chen notation and Crow foot notation. By the way, the Crow foot notation originates from the Chen notation - it is an adapted version of the Chen notation.ERD Symbols and Meanings
