Objects not in print preview

... electrical plan, I created my own symbols for receptacles, lights, and switches by creating blocks. I could them move the blocks and duplicate as needed. After placing the blocks/symbols on the drawing and saving. I did print preview and only the lines and text in the drawings appears, none of the blocks/symbols appear. I tried exploding one block, modifying attributes, still does not appear in the print preview or a pdf. Any help would be appreciated.

Contour layer added automatically

I am a rank amateur CAD guy. I have the electronic components and electrical libraries loaded. When I first set up my drawing surface, I create a layer for wiring and another for components. As soon as I insert the first component on the component layer, a new layer called contour is created...

Library Browser

I don't know why it doesn't work for you. Alternatively you could move or copy your electric and electronic library folders directly into the place where the "built in" samples are in your system. In Windows it's at C:\programs\LibreCAD\resources\library.

Library Browser

I really appreciate your help. I followed everything you've shown me, and with every step, I get a little closer, but still don't see the electronic or electrical parts that are in my library. I've played with the path listed in Options/application preferences/paths, but am not able to get anything I want in the window above "Insert". I do have two folders, one named MISC with four items in it, and the other named Templates with nothing in it.

I'm new to this forum, new to CAD drawing, and new to LibreCAD. I do have it successfully downloaded and working on my work PC and my personal MAC. I also have the Electronics and Electrical libraries loaded (I think). I'm quite proud I managed to get this far. However, I don't know how to...

hello from Belgium

... builds on our release page: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases Regards, dxli Hello, I'm Werner from Belgium and I use librecad mainly for personal use, for example for my electricity plan and other plans and floor plans.

Hello from New York

... my house and perhaps the landscaped areas also. Once I learn the basics, my first project will probably be to sketch a floor plan and map out the electrical wiring in this house. My first question/request is: I saw something/somewhere about learning files to be used with a tutorial for LibreCad...

Newbie here needs help

Hi everyone, I am a new user. I will be using LibreCAD probably mostly for electrical drawings. So far, I like LibreCAD for block diagrams, which is what I mostly used for. However I can't find a connector line function that allow me to connect blocks together so that when I move the blocks the lines will stay connected to the blocks. Is there such connector line function in LibreCAD?

Anchoring possibilities?

KiCAD does what you need. It's basically for PCB design, but the schema editor for electronic diagram can do this. There also may be other electric CAx software which can handle that easier than LibreCAD.
