Schematic drafting program?
« on: 18 May 2007, 06:39 pm »
Is there a free, simple to use, electronic drafting CAD program for drawing schematics, with built in symbols, etc?

Don't need simulation, PCB layout or anything fancy. Just to draw and print professional looking schematics on paper.
Thanks   :green:

Includes both schematic and PCB layout: just ignore the latter.

Thanks jb. That's perfect.

I installed it but got error message, doesn't run. I will debug it with the vendor.
Thanks!

Yes, this is a nice program that I have used in the past. In fact, I am using it now for some PCB designs that I am working on.
 I have heard of others having problems if running Vista. Some were able to get it resolved while others did not have any luck.

Thanks everyone! They both look great. I will fiddle with each to see what works for me. Stan over at ExpressPCB fixed the bug in one day and sent me the new link by email on Sunday. Wow! There's somebody who wants my business. Great service!!
