Schematic Software

[Cyclone]

Hi,

I searched this site for topics like this one and I saw some people use the Eagle schematic program. I don't like it at all. I was wondering if there are any other free schematic making programs out there.

thanks.

Hi Cyclone,

yes, i downloaded the free version to try it.
I wasn't very keen either.
now i draw my own.
heres a few i just drew to show you,
it wouldn't take long to get up
quite a library of them.

Just open Paint,
reduce attributes to suit, (i use 32x32 a lot)
draw your pic,
Save as,
pick your schematic folder,
give your pic a name and save.

Cut and paste when you need it.

Regards, John

yes, i used paint a lot, then i got to corel wich was better.
eagle is good, but all the thinks are hard accesibile, you have to chanke the menu if you want to rotate or moove a component.
2 bad.....
tri circuit maker, or electronics workbench.
