Circuit drawing and simulation program for a beginner

[PainterGuy]

Hello everyone,

At now I know there are these programs to draw circuits and simulate them: LTspice, CircuitLogix, Multisim.

I am beginner to these circuits and don't know much how to use such technical programs. So which program will you recommend me to use? I want it to have circuit symbols library, such as resistors, diodes, transistors, battery, AC source etc., which I can drag and drop into make my circuit. After dropping in the circuit component I can assign it a value. Suppose after dropping in a resistor (I mean after getting it from circuit components library or toolbar into my virtual circuit) I can assign it a value of any ohm, say 10 ohm. I hope you would see what kind of program I like to have. Many, many thanks for your advice. Much grateful.

Cheers

Hi everyone, :)

Many thanks kulgan. I will try it.

mI have download LTspice and Qucs. Both are free which is good. LTSpice is difficult but Qucs has many features wanted.

Do these circuit programs have virtual oscilloscope, voltmeter etc?

Have you used Qucs? Can you tell me how to simulate the drawn circuits? Tell me please if you knows. Much grateful.

Cheers
