I currently use MS visio for drawing Power Electronics circuits and looking for a better one. Any one who can guide me, Please.
I think that this is a matter of personal preference, and software available to you. The software you are using, MS Visio is not bad.
You can also use a CAD software to design the circuit diagram. If a component is not already available from the library, draw it and save it in the CAD software's library for future use. You can obtain the circuit diagram from a Schematic/PCB design software like DesignSpark PCB, Proteus or Orcad. Or obtain circuit diagrams from simulation software you are using in your work, like for example PSCAD, Plecs or Matlab/Simulink (with the Plecs addon). Or a SPICE software like for example LTSpice. There are a lot of other similar software that you can use.
if you can spare some money, I suggest to use CorelDraw coupled with Latex plugins for the text/symbols .. the exported vector graphic in EPS/PDF format look very neat and professional.
Otherwise, Inkscape is a freeware which also produces reasonably good vector graphics ..
Thanks a lot. What about your conference paper? Plz do send me if it is published
If you are looking for something professional but easy, I recommend Microsoft Visio. But, more professional work can be done in CAD format as well.
Various options are available. Choose a cloud option if you are frequently traveling or use multiple OS. Smart Draw is a good option and with Visio compatability.
For quality and simplicity, I would go for LATEX with its circuitikz library (http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/tag/circuitikz/). TikzEdt that helps me drawing using tikz.
Check IPE drawing, free very easy and with integrated LaTeX inside.

I also recommend IPE. I went through Xcircuit, circuitkz, Inkscape, before landing on IPE and sticking to it.
Microsoft Visio has plenty of tools and is highly recommended for Power Electronics circuit diagrams.
Considering all factors like: Easy to draw, the number of tools and packages, software availability, and resources
* Microsoft Visio is the best option for drawing power electronic converters and waveforms.
Previously I used MS Visio and Eagle PCB for designing circuits for paper. Recently I am learning PSCAD.
- Drawing in Visio is difficult and takes a lot of it. The good point is you can customize whatever you want.
- Eagle PCB is also good if you do not design PCB, there is no meaning in learning new tools
- I think PSCAD Schematic is good-looking and low effort.
In this paper, I used Eagle PCB for the schematic.

In this paper, I used Visio for Schematic.

"google drawing" is simple to draw for small diagrams in power electronics, no need to download any software. we can draw on web page and directly they will be saved to google drive.
Microsoft Visio is best one for power electronics drawings and they are with high quality.
Visio , very good with me , but you should be professional in Visio
try to use this software, very good for power electronics circuits drawing.

In my point of view, using Visio from microsoft as a drawing software is a very good option.
Hi Dr. Ashraf Yahya,
I think Microsoft Visio is the best software for engineering drawings including (diagrams, circuits, flowcharts, and brainstorming diagrams).
Dear sir,
For the engineering field, Microsoft Visio is the best software for drawing.
Smartdraw 2022 is very helpful software which has many electrical symbols and circuits
Inkscape is an alternative to draw the power electronic circuits However, "MICROSOFT VISIO" is the best one in my perspective.
Microsoft Visio and Inkscape is good option sir or there are many simple online websites which you can use
Me and my research team uses Microsoft Visio for the said purpose because Microsoft Visio is user friendly and gives good quality diagrams.
Hello, Visio is very good for Drawing of power electronic in Journals.
