message: I'd suggest to add specific information about the usability of each of the presented programs for creating block diagrams. Some of the programs specifically intended for creating circuit diagrams have library symbols with detail definition (example op-amp with 3 basic pins - block diagram: only input and output; block diagram speaker: 1 terminal). Here flowcharter type of software could serve one's needs better.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.164.185.31 (talk) 00:25, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

message: http://www.ece.uwaterloo.ca/~aplevich/Circuit_macros/ This satisfies pretty much all the requirements, but it would appear some people want a GUI for editing which this does not have inherently, (although KDE interfaces can be found at http://wwwu.uni-klu.ac.at/magostin/cirkuit.html and http://staff.ee.sun.ac.za/pjrandewijk/wiki/index.php/M4_Circuit_Macros_-_Kile_Integration Laganne (talk) 18:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I would like to add ExpressSCH to the list, but I haven't a clue (could someone do it?).  ExpressSCH is a part of ExpressPCB, both are free downloadable programs for Windows from expresspcb.com.  The ExpressSCH is specifically for drawing schematics, as the name implies.  It has a library, but sometimes needs additional symbols.  These can be created or modified easily within the program and added to the custom and favorites libs.  The file is saved in their native format, however the schematic can be exported as a 386k .BMP.  The program supports multiple pages or sheets.  I found an occasional bug in ExpressSCH; they have since come out with a newer revision but I don't know if those were fixed.  I learned how to use it fairly quickly, and I'm satisfied with its capabilities.  The other prog, expressPCB allows one to design a 2 sided printed circuit board, however the idea is that the result is sent to the company where they make the boards and charge your credit card, which is how they stay in business.  Three Miniboards cost 65 dollars U.S.  acmefixer (at) yahoo dot com 2012 Friday, Jan the 13th.Acmefixer (talk) 16:04, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: New SVG Klunky?

message: I'm researching a good schematic drawing program, and one that I ran across that fulfills nearly all the requirements mentioned is gnu Electric, at http://www.staticfreesoft.com/. However, I don't know if it will output SVG files.

message: I removed the information about Circuit Maker60 from the project page because I am unable to find it; the microcode.com website appears to be dead (no response over the course of a week), and Altium Designer does not appear to have a demo version (not to mention that it is way overblown for simple schematic drawings).

message: I noticed that link to Vector Blocks (the Klunky-like software for drawing schematics) is dead. I tagged it with dead link -template in the article. Does anyone have a working copy of the software? --Vesa Linja-aho (talk) 04:37, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
