schematic drawing software - Page 2

I’m “surprised” your search before you posted didn’t turn up:

schematic drawing software

also most pcb layout software will include schematic input ( “schematic capture” in the industry lingo - this is a search hint)

another currently active thread:

PCB Design Software

this topic (with pcb layout emphasis) is generally covered in “electronics and parts” forum, sometimes “everything else”

LtSwCad III “LtSpice” output:

I would vote to squash this thread altogether as redundant, or maybe append to an existing thread you should have found

JCX,

You were dead right about LtSwCad III. Just downloaded it, and it's perfect for the job. That other software I was using was fine for making PCB's, (and OK with large A3 schematics) but after the schematics had been downsized/manipulated etc they were frankly rubbish.

Look for Kicad (free) which works on XP and Linux.
This does schematics and PCB

Also there's xcircuit on Linux machines

A good resource for opensource engineering software
