Is this good for drawing electrical schematics? If yes, is there an electrical component library &amp; how comprehensive is it? Thanks

Yes I use it for electrical schematics and found to be as good as Autocad for the job.I got a new computer a year ago and found i could not load my Autocad programme 0n it as it was not compatible with Windows 8 so I bought Turbocad . I have made my own symbol library with approx 30 symbols in it which serves me well.I dont seem to be able to find any symbols in the library section.I make control panels and use it for this job. If you are starting from scratch you can find templates and as you progress with your drawing just add symbol to your own folder and the use it as often as you wish. Hope this helps

I am a cartoonist. I have been drawing on paper, scanning into Corel Draw, manipulating and shading the drawing, export as a Jpeg and e-mail it away. Just went to the "world standard" of Adobe Illustrator and having trouble getting up to speed. However, Amazon does sell "Ai for dummies". I got a used one, great price and brand new, and I am starting to make "some" headway on the learning curve. Hang in there, I'm 82. Now I'm looking for a Huion tablet "Dummies" book. Jerry

If you can read an electrical diagram and you have a general knowledge of electrical circuitry it should not be a problem to figure out. If not, I would suggest finding someone who has thd proper skill set.

Can't say fr personal experience but what I use it for os similar and should do great. Very wide range of line size from pencil line to large shading.

I don't remember now, it's been a while. I did not have any problem. I drew a wiring diagram based on the circuit diagram that came with the controller.

Hi, thanks for the question, Final Draft 8 in my opinion really a must, I don't mean for status or bragging rights (what with everyone who is everyone using it) but for the sheer brilliance of it all. The biggest problem with screenwriting is the formatting, FD looks after that without you even noticing, they even change if if the industry standard changes by updating. I resisted buying for years, I used Word, Celtx etc, but you kick it up a notch as soon as you get FD. And the scene card view can really help with blocking or plotting issues. The program can help with analyticals too, swearing counts, and will even let you know if Uncle Bob's character hasn't had a line in a while :) Check out the online manuals, they explain most of the functions. Version 9 is still very buggy, avoid it for now if you can. If you (like me) plot and plan obsessively another tool I use every day is a tiny piece of software called 'writer's cafe'. It has everything a writer needs for the planning process, the bookshelf and post-it note pegboard for scene plotting is awesome. Please let me know if you need anything else. P

Like the AutoCAD user, I find is amazing for SolidWorks design software. Not only can I fit tons of hotkeys as well as enter, shift, ctrl, delete, etc., but I can switch functions on the fly to numerical inputs to enter values.

there was only a diagram (sketchy at best) with mine...why don't you email them and ask for them to send you a scanned version? Sorry I'm not more helpful!

I can say yes for highlights and smaller details, but I don't know on the graphite drawings (I use it for coloring with copic, and craft projects)

I can scan my manual into a PDF file and send it to you. There not much to this manual. No electrical scematic.

It is a soldering station, that is what it is for, soldering. :) It has variable heat control so it would work GREAT! Soldering tips: Use the station set at 350c to solder. Do NOT use a thin round (pointed) tip as you would think you should use at first glance. It simply does not have the surface area and cannot hold the heat needed to solder as well. I suggest you use a small chisel/flat tip on ANY electronic project. Only use a small pointed tip if you physically cannot get the chisel into an area. Thin tips are simply not as good no matter what you are soldering, they simply require too much heat to get consistently hot at the proper temperatures. Always use thin solder, 60/40 or 63/37 (my favorite) multi-core flux. Get a good brand. No need for thick solder. Use a good cleaning pad or metal pad. Use a small fan to blow the solder fumes away as you solder. Wear goggles.

It depends on what you're learning. If you're going to be covering Newman Projections and Conformational Chairs then the kit is useful. I guess it could be useful when learning about molecular shapes (ex. Tetrahedral, bent, trigonal planar, etc. ) but, it's certainly not necessary for those. Is this for a beginning chemistry course or for AP chemistry? Also, do you plan on taking more chemistry in college? If so, I recommend buying this now if it's in your budget.

This is a great kit to learn the basics of electronic circuits. As for programming, this is very basic. You will start by modifying existing sketches and hopefully move on to creating your own. It really depends on your programming goals, if web, mobile, or desktop development is what you are after I would suggest starting with a language like python, c#, or java. There are many good online resources for this.

The PDF is pretty good, but not perfect. It is a smoothed vectorization based on the pen interacting with the sensors beneath the LCD screen, rather than a copy of what the LCD screen picked up. But, if you practice a little, you can tune your writing so it looks good on both.

No, I copied diagrams from a similar device for my son-in-law. You can look online for instructions and diagrams.

This is a good step in furthering your electronics education - but the real focus is on learning electronics AND HOW TO WRITE PROGRAMS! There are scads of program examples, that basically are like "C", but are referred to as SCRIPTS. The really great thing is that both skills will put you far ahead of anything else I know of. Also, there are tons of fairly cheap add-ons to make the Arduino Uno do just about ANYTHING you want - robots, home monitors, detection of movement, distance, light, sound, etc. It's not all 'cake' - you will have to apply brain power. I might mention the RASPBERRY PI is another way to go - but that is an actual COMPUTER (quite limited, but run an actual simple Linux OS. Eventually, I'll probably get one of those as well - But you won't beat Arduino as a fantastic start...

Yes,only a recommendation, make sure you have well explained your diagram before you start, you save time, technical support is very efficient if you have the specific question,good luck!!!
