What is a good free program for drawing and steamlining circuit schematics? If not free than something that is good. I currently have crodile physics which is nice for building and testing circuits, but I need something that I can use to produce professional looking schematics

here is what I have to do now...

Click to expand...

Eagle's complexity is reasonable for the job. The thing to realize is that this will also make a board from schematics and do a damn fine job of autorouting it! You can then home etch a board or send the files out to mfg.

How do I add single reistors
Single capacitors
Optimize circuit upon completion
Create into board
Label everything as it does in the examples
