I am looking for a program for making electrical drawings. Something free or low cost where I could draw up one line diagrams or simple schematics without too steep a learning curve would be really useful. I have used TinyCAD and that works pretty well, despite a few minor annoyances (very likely operator error), but I often see some really good drawings on this forum, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I use the drawing function in Google Workspace/Drive but I'm a masochist. I've created a bunch of standard symbols with relevant connecting lines and callouts that I can easily place onto a floorplan that I just paste into the background . It's pretty light weight which helps it go quickly.

I would definitely use something different if I needed to print full drawings. I'm a cheapskate so I use Inkscape to do architectural style drawings when needed.
