An easy to use shareware schematic editor for drawing
and publishing electronic circuit diagrams; operating
on Windows and Linux.

This tool is a drawing tool tailored for generation
of electronic schematic diagrams. It includes a
netlister and Bill of materials (a parts list)
generator and can generate publishable schematic
diagrams that can also be converted to standard image
formats.

Netlister
The built in netlister checks the schematic for
errors such as unconnected pins and wires to ensure
that the schematic is correct. Additionally double
clicking an output netlist entry in the netlister
highlights wires in the schematic that created the
net. This allows the designer to check that the
netlist is correct by providing feedback from the
netlister to the schematic.

Attributes
Unlike an ordinary paint tool this tool adds database
information (attributes) to each object so that the
schematic can be analyzed (for errors or for
netlisting or for generation of the Bill of
Materials). For example; in order for the tool to
identify component pins, pin data is stored within
the schematic data base. This is later used to check
that all the pins are connected correctly (i.e.
flagging up error warnings if any pins are left
unconnected by accident).

Attributes of the selected part are immediately
displayed in the screen attribute viewer. User
attributes can also be added to any library symbol
e.g. to associate a specific manufacturer with a
part. This can then be output via the bill of
materials.
