Whats your preffered choice for drawing boat wiring diagrams? Most
electronics CAD software I have seen is more aimed at circuit layout
than wiring. Would be great to have somthing where you could connect
the points but move the objects around etc.

I use Visio for that. You get more of a block diagram than a true
wiring diagram, but it does let you move objects around as you
specified. If you want to see one, take a look at my web site at

Select the link for "DC System" to grab a pdf I made from a Visio
file.

Wish I had something better (and free) to recommend.


I have been using ExpressSCH as a drawing tool. Its free with ExpressPCB
which is also free. PCB Express is another company which seems to confuse
the issue especially by Google.


I might add, components can be moved and attached wires will remain connected.
New components can be drawn. A drawing can be copied to Windows clipboard
and pasted into other programs. You can also select, by clicking and dragging, and
the selected parts will move in unison. Probably the most intuitive program around
allthough everything always takes time to get fully profficient.
