    Software to create tech diagrams

    Please excuse my nievity, but I am look for a basic program that will allow me to create basic wiring diagrams. A very rough idea of what i am looking to do is shown in my sketch attached.
    Its a mixture ot text and shapes, shapes that need to be divided into sections etc. Im not very experienced with these sort of programes so the more basic the better.
    Any advice would be very much appreciated

    if you want to get really basic and utilise software already on your PC, then Paint or Word spring to mind.
    I used Word once when ‘drawing’ a floor plan when building a new house.
    Just a whole bunch of squares, quarter circles, rectangles etc.
    Not as painful has you’d think, but, yes, very hands-on. And Word can insert a whole bunch of icons and symbols.

    as to software specifically written to cater for such a task, no idea, Google will be your friend there.
