[OT] Cable drawing

2004-05-13 by Dave Miller

Hello All,

I need to make some cable drawings, I haven’t done this for a few years so I am looking for some ideas on a good CAD package.

I don’t need anything fancy, I am really looking for something easy to use and has a library a cable/connector symbols. Most of my drawings are DSUB and RJ connectors but there will also be a fair amount if circular DIN connectors on my cables as well.

What packages are you using for cable drawings? Did you have to draw your own libraries or could download/purchase connector libraries somewhere?

I am leaning towards visio or smartdraw. I have used them both and found it rather easy to draw symbols. Does anyone know of any 3rd part libraries for either of these applications that is dedicated to cable components?

Thanks,

Dave Miller
