Notes

Where to store files?

I recommend creating a new folder titled "RF Electronics Symbols" and then unzipping the files into it. For versions of Windows through Win10, the path will typically look like this:

.\Documents\My Shapes\RF Electronics Symbols\

Page templates

I recommend that you begin by using one of the included Page Template files for developing your diagram. Some basic information is on the "Hints & Tips" page to help you get started. Standard A-, B-, and C-size drawing templates (.vsd files) are provided that come with a Page Scale preset to play well with the supplied stencil objects. You may, of course, change the page scale to whatever is most convenient for you. If large changes are made, you might need to re-size text and line widths.

Switches

Switch pointer positioning instructions - RF Cafe WebsiteThe position selection pointer has its rotation axis set on the common "C" terminal so the pointer can easily be made to contact any of the switch positions.

Component parameters

Rather than adding an electrical parameter set to each symbol, a separate generic set is provided that can be used with shapes and modified as needed. You can of course add your own text objects to the drawing, just as you can add any other type of Visio built-in objects. 

XML file format

If you are using Visio™ 2013 or later, you might want to re-save the files in the .vsdx XML format since it is typically much smaller.

RF & Electronics Symbols for for Visio™ - RF Cafe Website

This set of more than 1,000 uniquely designed RF & Electronics Symbols for Visio™ were built in Visio™ 2007 and tested in 2019. They use the .vsd file format, which is compatible with Visio™ 2003 up through the most current version.

Every symbol has been built to fit proportionally on the included A-, B-, and C-size drawing page templates (or use your own page if preferred). Components are provided for system block diagrams, conceptual drawings, schematics, test equipment, racks (EIA 19", ETSI 21"), and more.

Based requests for something other than the Stencils format, all objects are provided in a single .vsd file with categorized pages, rather than using separate Stencil files (page templates and Smith Chart™ are in separate .vsd files). This makes locating the symbols you want much easier since you see the actual shapes rendered rather than an ambiguous set of thumbnail images. Newcomers to Visio will find the presentation format very encouraging. Again, these are NOT Stencil files (see RF & Electronics Stencils for Visio).

All of the included shapes - objects - symbols (terms used interchangeably) can be seen in the screen captures below. They are what you see when you open the file and select a tab at the bottom - everything right where you can see it. Click on these thumbnails for detailed views. Please check the NOTES section on this page for instructions and/or any updates.
