Schematic Editor for Note Taking?

(1/1)

Ray CI:

Can anyone recommend an editor that can sketch schematic diagrams, capture text and write math formulas AND is fairly lightweight and preferably free?

My projects are mainly documented in handwritten notebooks and I'm looking for a computer-based editing alternative.   When documenting a design or project, I typically grab screenshots (from KiCad, LTspice etc) and cut/pasting into Word documents.  This is a pain because the MS Office tools really struggle with math equations.

Is there any kind of note-taking software designed for engineering students?   Can anybody recommend some options without having to use something like a heavyweight CAD application?


Thanks in-advance for any/all ideas and thoughts.

A:  It does not have an integrated method of including schematics.

I also use Word (and Powerpoint and sometimes Visio) and the process is slower than molasses in January.
