Drawing Schematics

[colin55]

An extremely good (free) drawing package has been released by DigiKey.

To see an instructional video tutorial featuring Scheme-it go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVaWkhrEo4s.
Scheme-it can be found on Digi-Key’s website under “Resources,” on Digi-Key’s Academic Program page, or by going to www.digikey.com/schemeit.

In 2 seconds, I found a bug. Create a resistor and ungroup it. It disappears.

I also didn't find a way of showing the "properties" like designation and value.

I created a resistor with no value and then modified the BOM with a value. The designation or value didn't display.

It looks a nice tool, but I do not see the jumper.

Good point, I will add it to the list of improvements.

They're trying to go the route of LTspice, good for them!

I couldn't find a way to export a netlist. Am I missing something? It has a BOM manager, but no way to import and export netlists?

Its a parts sales tool.

I'm fine with that, I've downloaded and used both eMachineShop and ExpressPCB - more power to 'em! Both of those take you from design -> to -> thing.
