Draw block diagrams with Eagle?

autodeskguest

Hello Folks,

 

So far I used to draw block diagrams with other (more mechanical) CAD

software but that gets old. Is there a fairly easy way to do that with

Eagle?

 

It's not about anything being ERC-proof at all, just to illustrate the

function of electronic devices. Boxes, text, lines with arrows at one

end and such.

    as soon as you want to connect boxes (containing some text, I guess)

    by "lines with arrows", I suggest to use an specific tool for

    graphs.

     

    Visio has been mentioned, there are free alternatives as

    http://live.gnome.org/Dia and OpenOffice.org Draw or Inkscape might

    also do the job.

     

    If you are a text-centric programmer, you might consider AT&T

    http://www.graphviz.org/. It's sometimes more efficient to describe

    the dependencies in a text form and rely on the software to arrange

    the elements than to pull items around with the mouse.
