TinyCAD is a program for drawing electrical circuit diagrams commonly known as schematic drawings. It supports standard and custom symbol libraries. It supports PCB layout programs with several netlist formats and can also produce SPICE simulation netlists. It is also often used to draw one-line diagrams, block diagrams, and presentation drawings.
The source code for TinyCAD is now on GitHub: https://github.com/matt123p/TinyCAD
Online documentation can be found here: https://github.com/matt123p/TinyCAD/wiki
Features
- Flat or Hierarchical Schematic Entry
- Many popular PCB Layout compatible netlist formats
- Convenient support for embedding graphical images in drawings

have been using this for a couple of hours now. Most intuitive package I've come across in 35 years. Exccellent. Making my own symbols and block schematics very quickly. Really needed this as having to redraw my originals from the early 90s created on Orcad sdt.iii which was also intuitive. Have to believe the authors of this actually use it for real to get this level.

Thank you very much for the program! Thank you for distributing it under a free open source license!

I used TinyCAD for wiring diagrams for a kit car. It is an excellent software package. It was relatively easy to learn and did a great job. I love this program and my thanks go to the developers. I recently had a challenging issue after a windows update. Any embedded images were not printing to PDF. Updating to the latest version of TinyCad has fixed that issue. Thanks again.

Very easy to use.

Amazing. This program has saved thousands of man-hours for myself and colleagues. At first, one would think it is only good for circuit-board design. Not the case at all. I am an audiovisual design engineer, and this is PERFECT for conceptual (pre-sales) design. AutoCAD is great, and everything will end up being in there, but it takes time. TinyCAD does not. Once you create a decent library, you can pump out drawings at a blistering pace. Bottom line, I would pay for this product if it weren't free. It is that damn good.
