LTSpice seems pretty popular.

I use Microsoft Paint to draw schematics. Most is pasting pieces from other schematics.

I like it for knocking together quick cct's, otherwise I fire up OrCAD for full-circuits (rails and such) | ||

i like eagle to make schematics, but then again, i don't do it all that often.

haven't used it myself but you can try this: http://tinycad.sourceforge.net/ also, if you join autodesk's student community, you can download all the student versions of their software for free, including autocad electrical. that would probably be your best bet. | |

If want a simple electronic circuit drawing program, search for 'ExpressPCB', its free and it also comes with a PCB artwork/routing program. Includes all the common electronic symbols and you can export your drawing as a *.bmp file. Even if you dont produce your own artworks for etching, the program is helpful when designing Vero board layouts. Here is the link: http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Download.htm

Given that you want to draw schematics there is a good chance that at some point you will either want to simulate the circuit or make a PCB for it. If you pick a draw only solution you will have switch tools to do either. If you think you will be doing simulation first go with a spice program like LTspice. If you think you will be doing a PCB first go with a PCB layout program like Eagle. | |
