Can someone recommend a good wiring diagram software? Our needs: System schematic sufficient for an technician to hand-build pro totypes and production units.
Ideally, would like something that uses a library (we make the customized b locks). Each block would include the wiring pinouts, etc... We probably have about 40 or 50 major functional blocks of stuff that goes in our boxes . Most of our builds roughly resemble something we made before, with sever al tweaks here and there as to exact components, number, etc...
I don't necessarily want to diagram the exact placement of where each wire and tie-wrap goes. I just want something simple, easy to use, quick, that has the end result of a skilled tech getting the box built right. Right n ow, the team is using EagleCAD, which is horrible for the tasks, high learn ing curve, .. just awful.
We don't need a schematic program, we need a basic box-build wiring diagram .
I thought about Visio (haven't used it in years), and Googled something cal led "SmartDraw" tonight, which looks interesting. (TBD?)
Anything else you guys can think of? (Much appreciated!!)
