assuming by schemes you mean schematics...

Circuit maker (free student version)

it can be downloaded from the net

great program
make your circuit and test it as well then print it out

I use Circuit Maker 6 for schematics, and Ivex Winboard PCB for PCB design. I tried Eagle 4.1, and I did not like the program at all.
