software to draw nice schematics for documentation

[drabos]

Which software do you use to draw nice schematics for documentation?
I think Cadence and other EDA softwares makes very ugly schematics which don't look beauty in the documentation.

So, what do you use?

Have the plot from the schematic composer and save it as *.ps and this would
give you the finest schematic.

You can use proteus it generates professional looking schematic diagrams

I try too much different editors. The best for Windows - Rplan 5.0 or 6.0 !

Visio is a good tool to draw schematics.and Protel is a good software,too.surely,you can try ECS.

VISIO is the best

VISIO is good. Although for free softwares, TinyCAD is really good, also Eagle from Cadsoft is very good, you can make your own symbol in both and the schematics look really good in them, right now I use Eagle for all my documentation needs. Its very fast once you ave made your custom library.

Do you know how to setup "hotkey" for visio? I'm annoyed by moving my mouse
to edit everything in visio. I would like to use keyboard to perform the function like
zoom in/out, wiring...etc.

Anybody know how to get this?
Thanks,
