Any light software to draw electric circuits?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding efficient software for drawing electric circuit diagrams to be included in .doc files. Users recommend Microsoft Visio as a suitable tool for this purpose, despite some criticism of Microsoft products in recent years. Alternatives like Protel, Photoshop, Corel, and Illustrator were mentioned but deemed less effective for quick circuit diagram creation. Visio is highlighted as the most practical option for users needing to create simple electric circuit diagrams.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with electric circuit components and symbols
  • Basic understanding of Microsoft Visio 2019 or later
  • Knowledge of .doc file formatting and integration
  • Experience with graphic design software (optional)
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced features of Microsoft Visio for circuit design
  • Research alternative circuit design software like Fritzing or CircuitLab
  • Learn about importing custom shapes into Visio
  • Investigate best practices for integrating diagrams into .doc files
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for electrical engineers, technical writers, and anyone involved in creating documentation that requires electric circuit diagrams.

I need to include an electric circuit diagram in a .doc file,but I can't find a software to draw it quickly.Does anyone have any good idea?I don't want to use Protel since it is too large

try Photoshop, no circuit shapes normally found but you can import some off the internet, Or Corel or illustrator.
 
I found a good software--Visio to draw electric circuits

That will do for electric circuits. Didn't think of it as ... It is a mistake to put ''good'' near anything that got out of Microsoft in the last 6 years. But for simple jobs it might work.
