JoshTheEngineer | Creating Schematics in PowerPoint and Inkscape @JoshTheEngineer | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
When making schematics for papers you're writing, it's best to create vector-format images so that they don't appear pixelated. In this video, I'll show you two methods of creating and exporting schematics, using 1) PowerPoint and 2) Inkscape. Obviously there are many ways to do this, so if you do it differently, that's fantastic.
