Software to draw electrical schematics projects

[Jasonbit]

Hello folks,

I am looking for a software to draw and test my electric projects. I use AutoCad with my library components to draw my schematics electrics but I want find another option software. I am looknig for a option software which runs on Windows, or Linux, and be free free. What do you suggest?

Thanks

KiCad or Eagle.

Thanks to your reply,

To Linux i found this software: https://qelectrotech.org/
I'm looking for something easy to use and light. Because I don't new a big and complex software. I am a newbie guy and I am starting step by step. Therefore I need a basic symbology, at least for now!

Thanks

Lt Spice will give a quick clear schematic if its just standard electronic components.
You can simulate your circuit as a bonus!

Hi

I don't use it but have a look at Diptrace.

For basic entry of components and connections it seems straight forward to use.

There is a free version for 300 pins, register as non profit and that goes up to 500. Then 1000pins for USD125

Non profit prices

I've also come over from Acad and though KiCAD is brilliant I find it's GUI a right royal PITA, I'm perserfering with it for pure functionality and library reasons, and wishing I could afford Altium (as we all do )
 
Depending on your requirements, I would suggest you seriously look at Kicad for what else it brings to the party. It is one of the major players so PCB houses have information on their requirements and symbol libraies and footprints are relatively easy to find.

did anybody notice that TO is actually asking for software to draw  electric projects, rather than electronic projects?

Indeed, then qelectrotech seems a good fit for their needs. It's actually available not only on Linux, but also Windows and MacOS.

If its electrical diagrams eg. layouts - Microsoft Visio works very well for that sort of thing, inkscape also does it
