    1. Electrical Symbols Library for Drawing Schematics in PowerPoint For best results: Turn snap-to-grid-on Do not scale the symbols library. Draw entire schematic first, then scale to desired size. After rotation, press up/down and sideways arrow keys to realign the component with the grid.

    3. Transducers

    4. Misc.

    5. How Do Things Get Off-the-Grid? Whenever an object is moved, PowerPoint aligns one of the edges of the bounding box with the grid. Therefore, if the component’s bounding box is not exactly an integer number of grid units in size, when the component is moved, its terminals may move off the grid.

    6. How Can We Ensure They Stay On-the-Grid? The components in this library were carefully designed so their bounding boxes are an integer number of grid units. Therefore, when the object is moved, the component terminals stay aligned with the grid.

    7. Another Way Things Get Off-the-Grid… When multiple items are selected, the bounding box is the smallest box that contains the bounding boxes of all the selected items. When moving groups of selected items, your components can get moved off the grid. A work-around is shown on the next slide.

    8. How to Move Several Selected Items and Still Stay on the Grid Draw a box that is bounds all of the objects that you need to move (including their complete bounding boxes). Select all the objects to be moved and the the newly created box. Jointly move the selected objects to the desired location. Delete the box made in step 1.

    9. Golden Rule To ensure things stay on the grid when they are moved, the bounding box of the object(s) being moved should be an integral number of grid units in size.
