Physical Circuit Modeling Software
#1

Does anyone do much in the way of physically modeling radio chassis in CAD software? If so, I’m curious what software you use. I’ve long used KiCAD for schematic design; it’s a fantastic piece of software if you then want to roll that into a PCB, but not so much for point-to-point soldering on a metal chassis. I’d like to do a bit of modeling to take notes on wire paths and the locations of terminal blocks. Usually I hand draw these prior to disassembling a radio, but I got to thinking that surely a program exists for this!
