As others have suggested... for low learning curve: stencil sets and pen/paper + a scanner for quick but limited computer aided drawing including circuits: dia [can export to TeX with pstricks or one of the image formats] for computer aided schematics (2D circuit diagrams): gschem from the gEDA set of tools [output to an image format] under RHEL/CentOS after you have enabled the EPEL repository it is only a `yum install geda-gschem` away. I also suggest installing geda-docs. AFAIK it is also in fedora in these packages. It took a couple of hours to get fairly comfortable with it for me, but I had not used a circuit editor before, only DIA and a couple of CAD programs. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter
