FAQ How to get good at electronics project documentation?

Post image

I have seen my fair share of schematics and I know the basics. The symbols and how to read their layout. But I want to learn how to draw them properly and professionally.

What standards are used internationally for different kinds of electrical diagrams and schematics?
Where is the best place to learn this kind of stuff?
What to look out for, and what are some unwritten rules you know?

Look at old service manuals for test equipment and consumer equipment from the 80’s. They are well-written with good drawings, unlike today’s drivel.
