What Qcad tool is used to draw Residential Electrical wiring (the curved line that goes from one outlet to another and or switches, etc) and where to get Symbols residential architecture. ie outlet, switches, fans, etc? See attached example of drawing cured lines and symbols.

I would probably use the "Spline (Fit Points)" tool. An open Spline desidned with three points should do it. And it is easy to edit ... ;)

Symbols: You can download free Part Libraries directly from QCAD https://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-add-ons or search the internet for 2D dxf / dwg Symbols.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro

If a thread is considered as "solved" pls. change the title of the 1. post to "[solved] Title..."
