  Diagonal components for LTspice
  I made these to allow drawing things like bridge circuits a little more normally. Holding down CTRL while drawing lines allows you to make diagonal connections in the editor.

• Circuit components library for Dia
  Dia, a drawing program, is what I use for most of my figures. I've created some of my own symbols for things like
  • diagonal resistors
  • diagonal inductors
  • diagonal capacitors
  • diagonal LEDs
  • diagonal diodes
  • diagonal Zener diodes
  • polarized capacitors
  • triacs
  • relays
  • optoisloators
  • triangle wave sources
  • ramp wave sources
  • ammeters (horizontal and vertical)
  • voltmeters (horizontal and vertical)
  etc. which aren't in the existing libraries. (For drawing things like bridge circuits, I like to have diagonal elements. Also, the "Circuit" library LED has a line through it, and there is no polarized capacitor, so I've added some symbols. I've also copied the square wave and sine wave sources from the "Optics" library.)
• Signals for block diagrams library for Dia (updated 2019)
  To make block diagrams more informative, I've created some of my own symbols for signal types like
  • digital signals
  • analog signals
  • pulse width modulated (PWM) signals
  in both horizontal and vertical versions, and in versions for both single and multiple signals. There are also symbols for common interfaces, such as
  • UART
  • SPI
  • I²C
  • 1-wire
  These make it easy for a block diagram to show not only what items are connected, but the types of connections between them as well.
• diax.zip (updated 2019)
  (contains both Circuit2 and Signal libraries) to be installed on Windows in C:\Program Files (X86)\Dia
