software to paint the circuit schematic?

coreldraw circuit schematic

Normally the circuit schematic exported from the EDA software such like ADS, Cadence are not suitable for the technical presentation. And for the documents usually people have to draw the circuit schematic again by some other drawing software.

I want to know which software is the best for painting the circuit schematic? Are there any software which can be associated together with Cadence with which we can export a neat schematic from cadence directly instead of drawing it again by hand?

a software for circuit painting

good point katrin.... such a software would really help during presentations.
But i think u can still survive with whatever we have.. open the circuit schematic.. print screen/screen capture... then gimp... should be fine right??

gimp circuit schematic

Yes, its a common ordeal i guess...but without a solution...

I personally use Microsoft Visio for drawing circuits, it does the job reasonablly well...

Another good software is Corel-DRAW which some people find more easy to use...

I don't know about gimp, it is a software which can edit pictures?

Usually I think the pictures directly exported from cadence or the screencut looks not professional for a presentation

You can use a PS printer configured by '.cdsplotinit' to print the schematic in Cadence into PS format files. Then you can convert this ps file into pdf or eps format.

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program which can be used to edit pictures. It is similar to adobe photoshop.. but its an opensource..

I use the print to poscript file and then convert to pdf way since it use better resolition and one can zoom in. For reviews I use usualy just screen snapshot.

I use the workwiew before.

it can export spice netlist too.

also the schematic can be copy to word.

You can also use S-edit of tanner to edit the schematic! But seems until now, there are not any perfect silution on this! If good-like schematic i want get, I still use Visio or Coredraw to paint the schematic, in which the elements(such as PMOS, NMOS, RES, PNP,NPN) are made as model to use.
Usually, i catch the schematic use SnapSHot, then roughly processed in GIMP.
