When it comes to circuit diagrams, everyone will definitely think of the content taught by physics teachers in middle school. Although many people have given their knowledge back to the teachers, there are also many people who are engaged in electrical industry work. For them, circuit diagrams are essential in their work. less part. What is a circuit diagram? It is a layout diagram that uses circuit component symbols to represent circuit connections, including schematic diagrams, block diagrams, assembly diagrams, and printed board diagrams. Whether it is an electrician or an electrical engineer, understanding circuit diagrams and drawing circuit diagrams are basic skills. So now let me introduce some circuit diagram making software suitable for beginners.

Edraw Diagram

As a domestic software, it is really impressive that its functions can be so powerful. There are a large number of circuit diagram symbols, and you only need to drag the symbols in the symbol library directly to the canvas to complete the drawing. It is simply a fool-like circuit diagram software. For beginners, it is really cute. There are also excellent templates for use, you can easily modify and modify it, and you will become a tall circuit diagram of your own.

Protel

This is a software I used when I was in college, and it was also the first circuit drawing software I came into contact with. It seemed that teachers used this software to teach classes when I was in college. In the early days, Protel had very low requirements for computer hardware and relatively few functions. Now it has developed to the DXP2004 version, and it can draw a lot more circuit diagrams, but the appearance is a bit lacking, so as a face value control, I have already switched to Edraw. embraced.

AutoCAD

This is also the software I came into contact with when I was in college. At that time, it was used for mechanical drawing. Later, I found that AutoCAD can also be used to draw circuit diagrams. This software requires a little time for beginners to learn, but once you master the skills, the drawing efficiency will be greatly improved. However, for modern people, time is money. It is recommended that you evaluate your study time before deciding whether to use this software.

OrCAD

OrCAD was born in the United States in the 1980s. It is a merger of the two names of Oregon and Computer Aided Design (CAD). You can also see the birthplace of software. This software is very powerful. It can draw circuit schematics, design printed circuit boards, etc. The interface is also very friendly. Of course, the price is not cheap, but local tyrants can use it freely.

Circuitlab

This is a software introduced by foreign friends. Its function is similar to that of Edraw. It can draw circuit diagrams online, and can be used by dragging electronic components directly onto design drawings. The disadvantage is that it is not friendly to friends who are not good in English, because the all-English interface will test everyone's English ability. And if you want to go to a foreign website, be prepared to endure the slow internet speed.

To sum up, I personally prefer to use Edraw, the domestic circuit drawing software. Not only is it convenient and fast, it is very suitable for Xiaobai to get started, but also the operation is simple and the appearance is high. You don’t have much money, and you want to use a drawing software that is very cost-effective, you should choose Edraw Icon.
