Hello all,

I'm looking for an app (iOS or Mac) to draw schematics so I won't have to rely on pencil-and-paper to keep track of special wirings I've been doing. Any of you can recommend an app to do that? Does not have to end up looking as nice as those Seymour Duncan offers, but I sure would like them to end up nice and clean-looking, especially if I ever have to share them with you guys. ;-)

Thanks for helping.

I've used DIYLC (http://diy-fever.com/software/diylc/) for amp schematics and layouts (see attached).

I just downloaded the latest version (4.19) for the Mac running Big Sur and it works fine. I see they've added a number of pickup elements as well.

I've been using NanoCad's free version for mechanical things. If you're familiar with AutoCad, it will feel familiar. However I don't know if they have an electrical library. https://nanocad.com/
