I found a schematic for something I'd like to build and it's published as creative commons. However there's a one thing I don't like about the drawing itself.
The author seems to have lots of places where he unnecessarily crosses wires when they could have just been drawn going around the other side of the component. The schematic itself is laid out physically the way the components would be placed on proto-board and the pictures of the completed board shows he used the bridge the parts together method.
This part for example:
The LEDs on the second row, I would just flip that over and run the line underneath so it doesn't go across other lines.
There's a few other parts like a line that zooms across several other lines when it just could have been extended down and around everything.
Since I only have this in JPG format, I've got it in MS Paint and am redrawing some lines to make it more visually appealing to myself and make it easier to complete on the proto-board.
So as someone who's not an EE, is it common for one person to redraw someone elses schematic to clean it up?
If you were working on a project that included a schematic that had been previously drawn would you spend the time to redraw it to eliminate things like this, or would you just deal with it because it's not worth the effort spent?
