I would like to design/draw diagrams in my computer (e.g. PIC diagrams with pin configuration and hardware connections). But with Microsoft Office, it's very difficult. Can anyone recommend any inexpensive drawing tool? Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have heard good things about this but have not tried it myself.

I have used this and works good.

At one time I was using "windraft" after spending what I thought a lot of money the company disappeared. Now I am not likely to purchase specialty software from these "fly by nighter types" and will continue to either use my cad program or a free program as mentioned above.

As they say-- Buyer Beware!
