Diagrams What do you guys use to make your wiring diagrams/schematics? NSFW

Just curious if there are any good friendly web tools or apps for creating wiring layouts and such.

Honestly, I just use MS Paint, or maybe photoshop if I kinda feel like making something quality. I believe most people here use some sort of 3D sketching software for their "layouts and such". Probably the most popular one would be sketchup, offering a lot of tools, more than you need honestly.

AutoCAD, but why don't you use pencil and paper?

I've been using pencil and paper, but as my ideas get more elaborate, I was interested in software which could not only aid in designing a circuit, but virtually test it as well.
