Who can help me develop graphics for an electrical engineering book and how much would it cost?
Would the best solution be for me to draw it out on paper and have a freelancer pretty it up? Is there a site that offers eletrical engineering graphics that I may use? Are there any software applications that I may use (not talking Photoshop, but engineering related apps) to generate these images myself?
Thanks.
Answer:
Autosketch is a drawing program with a library that includes electrical schematic symbols. The list price appears to be $150, but it should be available for less. There also other drawing programs that offer vector graphics rather than pixel drawing or painting. I have published material that include illustrations that I did with Autosketch.
You may be able to find a freelancer that can pretty up pencil sketches. If you can find a person with some understanding of the material, it may be easier to explain what you want.
Try buying soem software like PSpice. I am not sure if u would be able to find everything u need though.
There are a couple of interesting programs I've experimented with. One is an electronic design lab where you take various components (resistors, IC's, etc) and place them on a board and build a working circuit. It uses schematic symbols. I don't have it anymore since my HD crashed a while ago but it wouldn't be hard to find again. Another really neat program is Sketchup. It's a 3-D design program that is ridiculously easy to use and has a wide variety of applications.
