Electric Circuit Diagram Software ?

Here's a sample I made with Visio (could also be done with LibraOffice Draw). For this sort of overview, I like the approach of finding model-specific graphics on the web, and using them in place of some of the schematic symbols.

I am releasing a free webapp to create electrical diagrams for boats. It is at https://twoblokesafloat.com/circuit-builder

I am a cruiser who has been redesigning my electrical and really wanted a way to diagram it and generate parts lists.

It is early, so I don't have a huge inventory yet. I am happy to add any components that people suggest.

Thanks, Scottburch!

Once you develop an image library it is easy to paste them, move them and then connect and label them. Customers really seem to like the drawings so my attitude is what ever helps them understand their system is good.

I like your approach to an electric circuit diagram. As an electrical novice this is a good starting point for me. Are the ANL fuses in your diagram mounted in fuse blocks?
