Schematic software?

[briand]

What software are you guys using to make your wiring diagrams/schematics and where did you get it?

Thanks

Re: Schematic software?

i do believe most people just use paint or a photoshop program.

A dedicated program wouldnt be a bad idea though:13:

Re: Schematic software?

i use pencil and paper

... forgive, i had to say this

do you mean a software for emulation or just drawing?

Re: Schematic software?

I use NeoPaint, which is powerful in what it can do without being overly complex. Here's a screenshot:

Note that I can make "stamps" of humbuckers, pots, caps, switches, etc., and just stamp them anywhere.

And you all thought I worked.

That’s what I am thinking. It would be nice to have a program just for that.

ArtieToo I knew that you would know. So did you have to make the humbuckers, singles, pots, caps, switch stamps? I wonder what SD uses to do there schematics?

NeoPaint comes with a small selection of electronic symbols, so I didn't have to make the resistors or caps, but I did have to make the switches, pots, pickups, (of course), and things like that. The good news is, if you chose to purchase it, I'd be happy to send you my pre-made stamps.

I believe that Duncan created all of their own diagrams.

I have seen some pretty complex circuit testing software that you can both design and test electrical circuits of any complexity and voltage/resistance requirements.
If I remember correctly it's called Cadence or something like that.
I also thought the licenses were in the 6 figures, and it's pretty limited to Think Tanks and the like.

I will purchase it when I get back home. I had to run up to the FedEx station to get a customer their pkg with their passports so they can fly out Tue early am.

I am sending you a pm with email.

Thank you ArtieToo

Re: Schematic software?

I just use AppleWorks. Its quick and very intuitive.

I'm planning to post some of the modules I use to whip up mine so that you can all access them.

Here's one to start...

It's a jpeg so you can import it into any graphics program and resize it at will.

Re: Schematic software?

I use Paint. I think Visio would be good for this type of thing as well.

The first one to give me $1000 can have a custom-made wiring program

Re: Schematic software?

I use paint and adobe illustrator (paints good for getting things down quickly and easily, illustrator is for vector graphics which looks nicer, etc).


i also have EAGLE, by cadsoft (http://www.cadsoft.de/) but that's more for PCBs (printed circuit boards). there may or may not be a library available for more guitar-oriented stuff like pots and switches and such.
