Default Wiring diagrams - what do you use?

Open Office seems to have a draw function. The standard flowchart symbols
and arrows are available in draw (controls are at bottom of draw screen),
FREE TOO! http://www.openoffice.org/

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.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.
