Electrical schematic sketch symbols

Edit:  I originally posted this in the Inventor forum.  I don't have access to AutoCAD Electrical.

Is there a collection of sketch symbols someone has found for simple electrical schematics?  Things like ground, thermostat, RTD, resistor, splice, connector, etc.  I think sketch symbols and their snap functionality will accomplish what we need.  I can also create them from AutoCAD blocks, if someone has those.

Yes, but it's only the harness, i.e. the external cabling. The panel builders build the panels and do the wiring inside the panels.

I think it is necessary to use the device and location codes in this case. Inventor it does not matter where the cable (wire) is laid - inside or outside. Inventor needs the type of cable (wire), the beginning and the end. The cable can be laid automatically along the shortest path or it is necessary to specify points on the route.

I get how this works, and how to structure your project.

I'm looking at the amount of WORK needed to do the insides of the panel.

You'll have to draw hundereds/thousands of harness routing paths (Look at the blue lines) to get the correct length of the wires:

Imagine doing this at this panel:

A large project is done for several months or a year.

When there were no computers, they drew on drawing boards.

When a good team is assembled, everything is real.
