Hi @serge60, are you just trying to draw a circuit or also simulate it?

For simulation purposes, we'd have to build macromodels of each of those devices out of simpler components. It's doable but it takes quite a bit of work and testing.

For drawing purposes only, you can use "Custom Symbol (rectangle)".
