Gentlemen, I have a question that some of you maybe can answer. I recently rewired one of my bikes, and now I want to make a schematic while it is fresh in my mind? None of the ones out there are anything like my setup, so need to start from scratch, is there a program available, Free of course, that will allow me to do one on the computer. Any idea's. John.

Found this. CadStd Lite 3.7.0
CadStd Lite is a general purpose, easy to learn CAD/drafting program for creating professional quality mechanical designs, house plans, blueprints, schematics, and charts. Export your drawings in DXF or use 'copy clipboard' to paste images into Office and other applications. Import simple (Rev 12, Non-block) DXF files.
The price is in your range Smile Don't know a thing about it though.

This one might be even better.
tinycad.sourceforge.net/
Still another!

Thanks guys, will have a look at those sites. Jayel, pencil and paper works, but I suck at drawing a straight line let alone a schematic. Doing the wiring was the easy part, the putting onto paper, not so much. John.
