I was looking to find what the standard graphic symbols were just for
reference, and I all could find were places that would sell me the
document for way too much expense.

I did find some available photos of the appendix at:

Just FYI should someone be making custom library symbols and want a
reference for what your symbol should/might be.

Thanks for posting this. I'm building my own KiCad library which I
would like to share when it is of an acceptable quality. Consequently
I spent a short, fairly unsuccessful time a while back searching the web
for an ISO standard for the same thing. Does anyone know if there is
one, and if so is it, like this IEEE standard, freely available anywhere?

Regards,

Robert.

Hi,

Circuit symbols are standardized, using either ANSI standard Y32 or
IEC standard 617.

..and I also started creating new basic.lib with basic electronic
components, but for now I'm short of time.

Thanks. I've been poking around those links and the links off them and
IMHO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol is perhaps the best
starting point, as it has a small library of symbols, and links to both
pages you suggested and a couple of others that look useful.

Incidentally, the component in the standard KiCad library that prompted
me to look for an ISO standard was the polarised capacitor, which uses a
symbol I've come across maybe twice in the last twenty years.

Regards,

Robert.
