The problem that I'm running into is the inclusion of basic symbols for power and lighting, that I feel should be included in the AutoCAD software. There are some basic electrical symbols included in the tool palette, which I have browsed through in its entirety. I really do have a strong desire to have an in-depth knowledge of AutoCAD, but this is very frustrating to not be able to find something. This is required course material for school, and due to a missed class (unexpected), I am virtually on my own to figure out the missed material.

In my searching, I've found people discussing a "Power and Lighting" tool pallette, however I cannot find where I would be able to add that to my existing pallette ribbon on the side of the workspace.

I am attempting to find symbols for items like a duplex/double receptacle, GFCI receptacles, split wired receptacle, 220/440 receptacle, overall basic power and lighting symbols. For example, if I create an MTEXT field, and click on my Symbols button, it will give me an Electrical Phase symbol, however that is for a single receptacle. Correct, I am having a very difficult time figuring out how to locate and incorporate electrical symbols into an MTEXT field, unless of course there is an easier way to accomplish it.
