I've become aware of a wiring documentation tool named WireViz. I think this might be a recent release as I find no mention of it in searches here or on VAF. An overview description can be found on this GitHub page:

https://github.com/formatc1702/WireViz



I'm slogging through the wiring of my RV7A project and at first blush this looks like a potentially efficient mechanism to document what I've done. I'm interested in hearing about any user experiences from folks here, or comments regarding gotcha's I should consider before embarking on a new learning curve.



Thank you in advance.

David

That's fantastic! I wish that I had had that tool when I was designing the wiring for my BD-4C.

I used LibreOffice Draw to make my wiring diagrams. It worked but was pretty time-consuming. Had WireViz been available, After a quick glance, WireViz seems better, since it automatically handles the tedious layout details.

IF WireViz is the new best choice for documenting cables, what's the choice for the schematics?  I want to add details to a Z101 foundation.  Absent software it will be pencil lines on a paper printout, and that's well short of the standard.  What is the recommended software?  Recognize that for me this is rare and occasional use - I'll give up some functionality for drag and drop simplicity.

I asked about an easy package for creating schematics.  Last night I chased down a license for Visio Pro 2019.  It has a generous set of symbols and has a lot of useful output formats (see the screen shots below).  It plays well with my Office 365 set up.  At $4 for the license (see https://www.ebay.com/itm/133504007620), it seems worth a try.
