In addition to the 7 programs provided for drawing circuit diagrams, there are even more than a dozen editors, in which it is possible to make a basic plan for electricity supply to the house or apartment free of charge, but in the remaining programs a more complicated interface or problems with the Russian version. We recommend to give preference to representatives of this rating, in order not to waste time searching for crackers, usage manuals and the like!

software We have considered free programs for drawing up electrical circuits on our own. However, you yourself understand that the paid versions provide a wider range of features and convenient add-ons that will allow drawing an electronic scheme on the computer. There are many popular paid programs for drawing electrical circuits. Some of them we provided above, but there is one more program, which should be told a little - sPlan .This is one of the simplest in use and also multifunctional software packages for drawing up schemes for wiring and tracing electronic circuit boards. The interface is convenient, in Russian. The database contains all the most popular graphic elements for drawing electrical circuits.

If you do not mind spending 40 $ for a license, we strongly recommend choosing sPlan for drawing. This software is no doubt suitable for both home use and professional design work. You can see this video by viewing this video:

Here we have provided an overview of the best paid and free programs for drawing electrical circuits on a computer. By the way, on the phone( on android) you can download the application "Mobile electrician", in which you can easily make the calculation of the main elements of the electrical circuit, which will help correctly draw up the electrical circuit if the computer is not around!
