 My goal is to assemble a diamond shaped bridge rectifier out of four
 diodes. Any 45° rotation of a zener will be done only once. Your idea is
 easy for me to understand. The other ideas mentioned in this thread are 
 over my head.
 
 My best bet is probably to take an existing symbol such as:
 
 http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/amand_tihon/symbols/diode/diode-bridge-2.sym
 
 and modify it by replacing the bottom diodes with zeners. If that 
 happens my new symbol will get uploaded to gedasymbols.org, if possible. 
 
 Thank you, 73,
