Does anyone know of a good windows based program for drawing circuit diagrams? One that would have all the symbols needed.
Thanks,

If you want to draw control circuits, take a look at The Constructor. Not only can you draw circuits, you can simulate and run them after you draw them to check out your design.

Re: Computer program for drawing circuit diagrams
The constructor is good for PLC programs.
However for a more complete program, I use and like Visio Professional. Its much easier to use than a CAD program. You make "stencils" for each component, and save them in different groups-ie riser, motor control, etc. Then drag and drop on to your drawing. You can insert MS word and excel documents, pictures and other objects.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a PDF of a visio drawing.

Tom,
I have never used it for that...only for hardwired motor control circuits.
