Hi

what is the significance of keeping dot on resistor and capacitor in schematics ?

for e.g.,

Hello,

  many parts have pin number 1, often marked as dot on package.

Hi Yuri

Good. Finally, i came to conclusion through your help and other sources is that this kind of symbol representation is only for the probing purpose by the PCB designer/Layout Engineer. Am I correct ? Pl, find an attachment. Pl, correct me if i am wrong ??

[Yuri]

Yes, Your idea is quite reasonable.

Hello,

  it is just  CAD marking for the first pin.

Have a great day,

Hi Yuri

As per my limited knowledge, resistor does not have pin no 1 or pin no 2 , either way we can connect. Right ?

Hi,

Yes, a resistor  in itself is symmetrical - it has no special pin numbering, but CAD may apply
such approach (to have marked pins) for compatibility with other parts.

Hi Yuri

can you explain little bit more, what do you mean by compatibility with other parts ..?? if possible , pleas, explain it through some examples.
