Re: Visio Template for Electrical Diagrams?
When I open Visio, I get some options for templates with categories. Under Electrical Engineering one of the choices is Industrial Control Systems (US Units). When I select that, it sets up several of the shape groups including Switches and Relays, Fundamental items, Terminals and Connections, etc. You should be able to grab something from there.

If you don't see those, I'm not sure where to get them except for the Internet (under Tools - Options - Shape Search). I have another engineer who loaded Visio about the same time I did but I have tons of shape templates loaded and she has very few templates and we can't figure out what is set differently. I kept trying to point her to valve shapes and she didn't have them available. We're still stumped why I have them and she doesn't.

If you're looking for FIRST-specific, I'm not aware of anyone who has created them.
