Dia symbols for electricity in BE (and EU ?)

Please be noted: These can't be used yet in Dia: Place them on a sheet export to SVG, and use them in another program. Currently it's impossible to rotate text or shapes, as a result, you cannot create a correct electrical drawing.

Why?

I needed it and didn't want to pay for Visio (or anything else).

Content

I could explain, or just show and image of the symbols so far:

FAQ

Why is there a big gap around the symbols?

This ensures you can place them on a grid and don't constantly have to fight with Dia to keep the center of the symbol on the grid. This also ensures if you resize a symbol, you can resize them consistently.

In which countries can I use the symbols?

I would like to know myself, the are ok for BE.

A symbol is missing!

Drop me the code/patch. Or provide me an example and pray I have time to add it :)

A symbol is wrong / you misnamed a symbol / ...

Blame me (and make sure I receive your blame), then I can fix it.
