Schematic software for Mac?

Post by Noval_novice »

Anyone have suggestions for making schematics on your Mac? I am trying to find a program that is easy to use for that purpose but not having much luck. I downloaded a free trial of EazyDraw, but didn't get very far. By the way, I am not an engineer, graphic design artist or computer geek, so keep that in mind.

I tried the free download of eagle, but I was quickly overwhelmed and didn't make much progress, I'm afraid. I may just be too dense to operate some of these programs.

Yes, JSchem seems to work well on the Mac, except I cannot get the undo function to work. So if you make a mistake you have to manually delete.
This always reminds me of when I was training to be a draughtsman - we were not allowed to have erasers for the pencils, this was supposed to make us always think first and never make a mistake. That didn't work either :-)

Me too overtone, it can be very frustrating at times, but something I've just gotten used to! Haha, I supposed we could have written the company...

i wonder if these would work on the iPad. I'm thinking JSchem might. I'll let you guys know unless someone has tried it already.
