Breadbording software (to all Daves)?
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
To all Daves - thanks.
Yes, I know of expresspcb and I have it. However I was talking about
breadboard prototyping with jumper cables. I change my design so
often and my runs are tiny, so I found silicone-sealed breadboard
with jumpers to be an ideal solution for me. Having a software
package that would allow me to move things around and try different
chip positioning - that is what I am looking for.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for all your messages and pointers.

Trius Software has a nice CAD program called DraftChoice. It is not
an electronics program, but it is real easy to create symbols and place
them anywhere. You could draw your component's footprints and drop
them onto a drawing of the bradboard. DraftChoice is available as
a fully functioning demo - the printer/plotter output is cripppled.
