I plan to make a symbol library based on the schematic symbols from old hand-drawn HP manuals (see for instance, ). I've done a bit of research on this, and here is my current plan. In terms of efficiency, I mean something comparable to drawing a schematic in LTSpice, for instance. However, I'm very new to inkscape and would like feedback from more experienced users as to whether it is possible (with sufficient setup and practice) to use it efficiently for this purpose. In addition to giving me complete control over the visual output, it also means that I only ever need a single SVG file for each schematic. It is, of course, sufficiently general-purpose for this use case and I'm hoping, with practice, can be used quite efficiently. I could use KiCAD's SVG export but I don't like the look of kicad schematics and it would mean I would need several files for each simple schematic I draw. Additionally, circuitikz does not make it particularly easy to compose subcircuits. I previously used circuitikz for this, but have become a bit frustrated with how long it takes to create a simple schematic (I have used it quite extensively and feel proficient with it, so I don't feel I can become that much more efficient with it). I'm deciding what tool I'd like to use to create high-quality electronic schematics for documentation and presentation purposes rather than for CAD (I use KiCAD to actually design PCBs).
