Anyone know some good schematic programs?

Hello,

I have recently been using Easy PC for windows. The schematics come out fine if you print them on A3. But when you make them smaller and edit them to fit the diyaudio image upload, they look awful.

I know AutoCAD was quite good for this ( a work colleague used it) but there is a pretty steep learning curve using autoCAD!

Regards

Kevin

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

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

another currently active thread:

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.
