Digi-Key Corporation presents a video presentation discussing the steps on how to use its free online schematic and diagramming tool, the Scheme-it.

Digi-Key Corporation, the industry leader in electronic component selection, availability and delivery, today announced new enhancements to the popular Scheme-it circuit design tool, available at no cost on the Digi-Key website. The tool was co-designed and built by Aspen Labs LLC, a business-media company focused on the needs of engineers.

Often thought of as an “idea generator”, Digi-Key’s Scheme-it design tool provides users with a simple, free-to-use way to record their circuit design idea in a shareable, electronic form. The tool implements the entire Digi-Key catalog, allowing users to design with actual parts available for immediate shipment from Digi-Key.

Scheme-it comes equipped with an enhanced feature set, including:

The ability to diagram at the Block, Icon, System, or Schematic level
A library of over 700 generic symbols, as well as custom symbol creation
Access to over 4 million components via Digi-Key Catalog integration
Freedom to keep designs private, make public, share via link, or embedded into web pages, blogs or emails
Rapid design evolution via Bill of Material (BOM) upload capability
A direct link to Digi-Key Technical Support for help with component selection activities
Integrated Bill of Materials and quoting
Export into PDF or PNG files

The tool has seen incredible adoption, with over 30,000 designs already uploaded into the tool.
