Title: Anyone Know of a Good Electric Circuit Design Program?
Post by: Rampage on November 03, 2003, 09:02:28 pm

I'm too lazy to do a search, so here's my question:

"Does anyone know of a good electrical circuit design program that will draw schematics of circuits and PCB boards?"

I require this for that physics class I'm teaching this Thursday.  Any input would be appreciated.

PSPICE or if you have to get something kinda dumb... Electronics Workbench.  PSPICE is God though.

on the course I "finished" last week, I used "digital works", multisim and commsim.
digital works is pretty basic, but it's pretty easy to use too.

I was going to try that one too, but I just didn't get the time to do so. wasn't that much left of the course when I found it.

Multisim is mostly a digital tool.  Pspice is more of an analog tool.  Depends on what you want to mess with.
