Re: Schematic Software

You may have seen this one already 

http://www.cadsoft.de/freeware.htm

It is really good for freeware. Just use the schematic part if that's 
all you need. Once you get the hang of finding the parts in the 
library and placing them, it is pretty decent.  You can export images 
to BMP files. or copy to the clipboard and paste in your document, 
with adjustable resolution. Very large parts library. Not bad for 
free.  

Also, the IVEX software from www.ivex.com (WinDraft ver. 3.12
Schematic Design) is pretty good as well. OK for simple small pin 
designs, and the registered version is only around $29. from NTE 
dealers.
