Have you tried DesignSpark from Radio Spares?
Tried Fritzing?
Designed and named to fit in with wiring and processing, lots of goodies for noobies like me.
Welcome - Fritzing
A good one, (and free) for schematics and wiring diagrams in fact any type of diagramatic is "yEd" works with Win, LIN, droid and MAC.
Thanks for the links. I found a few drawing packages that are good at electronics (like those above) but struggled to find anything suitable for drawing machine controls such as isolators, e-stops, contactors, coils, relays, push buttons, etc. There's always the option to use QCAD or LibreCAD and draw your own symbols, but the style of QElectroTech is more like the drawings I use daily at work. A forum search found zero posts, so thought others might benefit from this software, too.
