1. INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND
Schematic diagrams are used to graphically represent the components and interconnections of electrical circuits. In the past, schematics were drafted using manual drawing techniques. Up until the late 1970s, the only schematic drafting aids were plastic drawing templates. Back in the late 1970s, CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems based on mainframe and mini-computer technology were just starting to see use in larger companies, but these were very expensive. Simple tasks like routine schematic drafting were difficult to cost justify. But these situations changed with the arrival of the IBM PC and low cost CAD software such as AutoCAD.
