Then I added at top right a 12V battery and an ANL 300A fuse. The more I play with it, the more I like it.

Has generic symbols though, like a battery. Tied to their catalog, which appears to based on small circuits (fuse holders, but no ANL).

This document was created with Apache Software Foundations OpenOffice. Does not appear collaborative (don't see a way to invite others to edit your diagram yet). The limit switch is drawn on both the electrical and fluid power diagrams. SmartDraw is another commercial cloud one, like Gliffy. Diagrams are communication, and communication and collaboration go hand in hand. But the collaboration and having it available to everyone really blew Visio out of the water. Yeah, you could do a few more things with Visio. I got everyone in IT and other departments to switch from Visio to Gliffy. We had it integrated into our wiki, which made it very collaborative for us. But that is commercial so not likely we can all use it to work together. I did a lot of software design diagrams in Gliffy (commcerial, $96/year, web and cloud). None of them are designed for schematics, so there is a lot to be desired.ĭraw.io is free and web/cloud based. I can actually find myself using all 3 for the same drawing within 5 minutes thanks to copy/paste. GIMP is the most robust, but complicated and not cloud-based. In the meantime, the tools I use (and I do not mean to imply I do any real schematics) include Google Draw (free, cloud, part of Google Docs), GIMP (free, desktop) and flameshot (free screenshot tool for Linux Gnome desktops) for quick markups. We can all work on one diagram together at the same time while we chat. Google Docs, which includes Google Draw, is the most collaborative web tool I know today. I'm looking for something web based that we can work together on because it helps a lot when trying to help each other.
