I would have thought that a quick google would throw up just what I'm after, but it isn't so. Can anyone point me to a shape library for PPT containing the common logic elements? Has to be for powerpoint due to the customer involved.
Visio professional used to have all the schematic elements and logic symbols.
If you have Visio you can drop the individual symbols into Powerpoint and move them around etc.

1) PowerPoint sucks!
2) IEC logic symbols suck!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
My biggest customer lives by, thinks by, PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheets. Very little of that makes sense.
Their docs have no context. Rarely is an author identified, or any overall concept furnished. They are almost always undated, so I get multiple versions with the same file name but different content. If I receive one without some side communication, my reaction is usually "What the hell IS this?"
Anybody expected to write anything needs to have a half-day course in document management. Begin with section 1)
1) SCOPEWhat this document applies to, and what it's for.

Well, people do need to type manuals and such, and Word is OK for that... if used sensibly. Skill with Excel and Powerpoint are liabilities, as far as I'm concerned.
But people can be skilled with Word but not know how to write. Like people can learn Autocad but not be able to draw.
While I'm ranting, most people who can drive LT Spice draw awful schematics, just a tangle of parts and text. No author, no date, no title or function, sometimes no identified inputs or outputs.

They probably don't have to design/draw schematics for a living. ...Jim Thompson

Engineers create documents. I don't know of any engineering schools that explain that.

where I went to university we* did a project running the length of each semester with +100 pages of documentation
The university is bit special in that groups of 4-5 people get an office for the semester and does the project in parallel with regular classes

The question is, could you send those documents to a contractor and get back working, tested, calibrated products?
And could another engineer pick up those documents and modify the hardware and software?

I am a stone's throw from Langley.
As opposed to a stupid Cali punk like you, I am in the heart of it.
I left California on a jet plane, and don't know when I'll be back again. But I know punk when it's stench is in the room, and your reply to the OP places you firmly in pussified punk land.
IEC electrical devices Suck, so it goes without saying..

Why all the hate with Excel? It's actually quite useful, for what it is, and can be made to do perform s ome exceptional gymnastics in the right hands.
This post caught my eye because we're in a project right now that involves Powerpoint. For that, we (um-humm.) needed to create a 20-slide (+/-) PPTX file from scratch, under the control of a different program (C#, etc.., ru nning in Windows Presentation Foundation). Passing all kinds of variables, graphs, charts, etc...
You don't really think much about Powerpoint being a Windows VBA-enabled ap p, and there's suprisingly little "useful" info about it on the web. But, with enough diligence, you can (um-humm.) even get Powerpoint to do a few s it-ups. :)
Not very good sit-ups, mind you...
