Is There Any Software for Circuit Diagrams?

[acvc]

Does anyone know if there's any software available to help do the diagrams that we're meant to provide with domestic/commericla work? Standard symbols for sockets and switches, drawing for room and building layouts, circuit routes through buildings ..... that sort of thing?

Nothing too flashy or expensive for my ageing PC please!

Thanks chaps.

Microsoft Visio is good for diagrams but as with all Microsoft product it is not cheap

A few open source alternatives can be found here Visio | Open Source Alternative - osalt.com I have not tried any of them but they may do what you want

visio is probably one of the best for pc, but you have to also search for the correct circuit symbols to add to it. Well I had to anyway.

For mac there are a few programs, but again they are all american so dont have the bs en 60617 symbols.
I had found a good one which did all building materials so if you really wanted to you could design a whole room. It was a free one too I think.

ive been using labview you can even simulate the circuit before you physically built it

NI LabVIEW - The Software That Powers Virtual Instrumentation - National Instruments

there is always croc clips which is really easy to use to.

but if its just the drawings you want they can be produced in autocad

good luck
