either free or reasonable priced.

From Schematics to Printed circuit boards CNC Gerber files:
- Orcad Std (the best in my opinion, but rather expensive).
- Tsien Boardmaker (relatively cheaper, but less features)
These two are the major.
You also have "Spice" which offers the advantage of full electronic simultation, but it is never totally right.
AutoCAD from autodesk also has a add-on for schematics, but since ACAD was made for architecture, then for mechanical drawings, is features on schematics are an obvious "plaster" on something that existed.
You can also find some free schematic/PCB design programs on the web. Search for "PCB" "Printed Circuit Boards".
There are a few, they are usually free, but they are made and offered by PCB manufacturers to get clients. They are usually not too bad, but the graphics leaves something to be desirable.
Search also for GERBER VIEWERS: they usually allow you to go in "reverse" (from the gerber file to the PCB).
Finally, there is a new (not available yet) program, called "Tronics", that will do a similar job, for a single one-off fee that depends on the number of boards you want to design.

ORCAD is very good gor schematic drawing in electronics. It is also used for simulation i.e., the main advantage of this software.
so, by using this you can simulate and draw scematics.

you can make the circuit using circuit maker and then hit the print screen button to have an image of it. then afterwords paste in paint and cut out the relevant section.
for schematic you can also use PowerPoint if you are familiar with autoshapes.

Simple Straightfoward will be AutoCAD or Microsoft Visio.
Complicated but able to calculate the input and output will be Proschematic

multisim is the best electrial simulator ive ever used, you cant print drawings out too. It is a real simulator.
