How to draw beautiful circuit diagrams?

Article directory

Hello everyone, I remember Cheng.

Drawing schematic diagrams is the job of hardware engineers. In some demonstration occasions, such as reporting work, PPT document writing, etc., we may need lightweight software to replace Altim Designer, PADS Logic, or Cadence, which often cost a few gigabytes. After all, these software are more troublesome to install.

Today, I recommend several lightweight tools to facilitate the subsequent use of small partners.

AxGlyph is a professional and practical vector drawing tool, just look at the pictures below, you will know, and this software only has more than 7M points, it is very convenient to install.
