Documenting/drawing prototype boards

[triode_al]

Several years ago I had found a drawing program for MacOs for stuffing those prototyping boards that you can buy with pre-drilled holes in arrays, like these:



The program had several templates for board types and for types of transistors, IC sockets, resistors and you could drag a leg of a component to a hole and then it was 'connected' there.
If I remember correctly, it was part of a suite of several tools including a schematics drawing tool. [It was as we call in Holland, "bijvangst" in my search for a drawing program.

I can't find it anymore: who might help me out?

Check out the Fritzing project, it works like what you are describing.

Here is an example from the Projects page,

Any pcb layout program can do this, just set the grid to 0.1".
