miketomcat Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I've drawn several boat wiring diagrams by hand but I suspect most are done in CAD. It's mostly about logic and simple routes rather than relative positions. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I haven't found one yet - there's free electronics schematic programs like KiCad but they don't easily allow some of the stuff you want for a car diagram. Best bet is something like Inkscape IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardos Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I've used Visio in the past but now would use Libre Draw. There are some more electrical shapes available as and extension (not car related) https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/libresymbols The main advantage of Libre Draw over inkscape is that lines (wires) stay connected to objects when you move items around. I used a lot of labelled boxes for components Or If the symbol you want does not exist create it from simple shapes and then group it in to one object.
