ECAD Symbols

UPDATE 5/18/2017 - This library was lost some time ago before I was able to post the symbols properly.  I am now in the process of rebuilding it in case anyone sees this thread.

SEE: http://forum.librecad.org/ECAD-Symbols-Again-td5714870.html

I was about to start on an ECAD library for myself and thought that since I was already redrawing everything if I just made sure to use the right software I could release without licensing issues to other people as well since there are not many free libraries out there.  So I have a python program I am putting together that automatically generates a dxf with all of the symbols I use personally (in US so it's a hodgepodge).  Works beautifully for me and opens fine in LibreCAD 2.  Everything is drawn currently in a 10x10 unit square so 11 points by 11 points to align to.  Not going crazy with attributes or scaling yet just seeing where it goes right now.

This is for my own reference / what I plan to do next:

I rewrote some of the code in order to generate individual files and dump them all into an ecad sub directory of my part library.  Do I need any special permissions to eventually upload this to the wiki?

Hey,

if you have an wiki account you shouldn't have any restrictions whatsoever to do your upload.

And if I may say so,
you project looks very interesting, great work!

looks like it's more suitable to add your parts to our Resources repository:

https://github.com/LibreCAD/Resources

What would be the correct folder structure to put the dxf files in?  Going off of what I see there guessing something similar to: /parts/kozbot/<files> ?  I was planning to eventually release the python program under MIT license ,  is that more appropriate for the blocks as well or the CC by listed in the github page for resources?

If they are intended as blocks, then blocks/kozbot/<files>

MIT is correct for code; use CC for non-code (DXF since you wouldn't add a license header).

Few more symbols done and Push-To-Test Light made using string code rather than manually coding the lines (wanted to see if I could actually do it using mnemonics).

Up to 28 Blocks now :)
