Hi Lawrence
Just a quick input on cct diag drwg. Others may have their way but this is good for me.
No need for junction 'dots' on lines. They get lost or sometimes forgotten to put on in the first place.
I used to draw resistors as squiggle lines but rectangle are better. In Corel Draw they are given a white fill. When placed over a line (wire) they maybe not be on top, and the line goes thru them, but just 'order' them on top. The advantage is you can just slide the boxes along the wire with no altering of resistor end lines.
My caps are two lines on the edge of a rectangle (box) drawn with 'hairline'. Then fill the box with white and change 'hairline to 'none'. Now want to move the cap just lasso it, complete with rectangle and slide it along (I can set it up so that its centre stays on the line!)
I said creating a component library but I don't really bother. In Corel, draw one item and a duplicate is lasso and hit+ on the numeric keypad. Of course you can step and repeat as many as wanted at any defined spacing.

Quick cut of a recent one done this way.

Oh! and sometimes colour helps for complicated diags.
Oh! and I forgot 2.5mh would be 250mH (again for loss of dot)
Gotta dash Yoga calls.
