Hi Bob, The best way to create specific types of drawings for a LyX document is to use a program designed for that purpose (like a circuit diagram editor) and then exporting to an appropriate image format (PDF, PNG, JPEG, etc.). There may be LaTeX packages that can draw circuit diagrams (I wouldn't know, not my cup of tea), but the learning curve associated with those packages is far too steep to mount by your deadline.
Better to use what you know (even if that's stencil sets and pen/paper + a scanner), then to try and reinvent the wheel on a deadline. Once the image is created, you can then add it to a document and use a float to add a caption. Cheers, Rob On Jul 15, 2010, at 7:50 AM, BOB Merhebi wrote: > Hello, > > I am a newbie to LyX.
