There are some basic electrical symbols included in the tool palette, which I have browsed through in its entirety.  The problem that I'm running into is the inclusion of basic symbols for power and lighting, that I feel should be included in the AutoCAD software.  In class, we have not covered downloading and installing additional libraries of symbols, so surely these are items that should already have been downloaded with the software.  This is going to be a long post, so please bear with me.  My assignment for my AutoCAD class is to complete a basic Electrical Legend, that would include the following symbols:

 

110/120 Volt Duplex Convenience Outlet

110/120 Volt Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt Duplex Outlet

110/120 Volt Waterproof GFCI Duplex Outlet

110/120 Volt Split Wired Outlet

220/240 Volt Outlet

Junction Box

Cable Television Outlet

Clock Outlet

Door Bell

Single Pole Switch

Three-Way Switch

Ceiling-Mounted Light

Wall-Mounted Light

Fluorescent Light

Circular Recessed Light

Square Recessed Light

Light, Fan Combination

Light, Fan, Heat Combination

Ceiling-Mounted Smoke Detector

Wall-Mounted Smoke Detector

 

This task is assigned from a provided list of problems within the AutoCAD 2018 Textbook, showing the appropriate symbol next to each line, however the corresponding chapter discusses nothing regarding how to add symbols, outside the use of the symbol dropdown from the text editor.  I have a licensed student version of AutoCAD 2018, 2019 and 2020, none of which include the Electrical Toolset, which the AutoCAD website claims is now included with the software.  I'm just completely lost, and it is becoming extremely frustrating.
