program for drawing schematics

[gregas]

Hey guys,


What program is good for drawing schematics.
I want to draw up a tube based preamp.

I am wondering what is easy to use and popular

Try this,

KiCad EDA

If you have a Mac (or even if not), both KiCad and DipTrace are good.
If you only want a schematic and no real learning curve (the others are tough),
then try Scheme-it (web app) free at Digikey. Really simple and fast, but no file for a pcb.

Highly recommend KiCad.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Just saw this new option:

Beta for KiCad Export
Now export your Scheme-it schematic designs to the KiCad EDA software tool
for board layout and furthering your designs.

Does anyone know or can show me where to find out how to export an LTSpice schematic to DipTrace?

I read that you can export LTSpice to Eagle, or import LTSpice to Eagle, and that Eagle does allow capturing from DipTrace.

So even if I never used Eagle it might be worth a try to do this.
