Recommendations for a drawing program
Recommendations for a drawing program
(OP)
Hello all,
I'm looking for a simple drawing program. The application is for simple electrical schematics. The ideal program would allow me to import scanned in schematics as a "background" and allow me to add to the existing schematic.
This program will be used by other not-so-computer-savvy employees, so the easier to use, the better.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

If you need more precision, QuickCad is a good low-end CAD system. It's cheap, easy to use, and good enough for many applications.

Inkscape is another free vector based program that may work as well. It's also open source.
There is also an open source cadd software called PythonCAD, but i have not tried it before so I don't know if it would work. I believe it does not run on Windows. http://www.pythoncad.org/

Which program did you find best, as I am currently looking for a simple program myself. I want to do simple sketches.
I like to use autocad, but just can not afford the cost.
Thanks

One thing I really like is that you can draw to scale.
