A circuit layout program for point to point wiring?

Is there a such thing as an app like Eagle or Kicad that instead of making a PCB view it allows you to design a point to point circuit?

Well, DIYLC looks to be the answer if you can run Java. Maybe I'll install a virtual machine and give it a go.

I don't trust Java when considering security.

Any CAD program could be used. Inkscape or the like could be put into service.

Ok, so any CAD program has a schematic view??  ???

Sometimes you have to do the heavy lifting yourself.

Do you have a picture or example of point to point wiring, what exactly you're trying to do?

I associate PTP with tube amps and big components. PTP with pedal size components, dead bug building.

The tube amps i've done PTP i drew up with pencil, paper and lots of eraser. Haven't done small scale stuff that way.

It's all art.

Deadbug/PTP  (none of this stuff is mine)



Old school PTP.



PTP with terminal strips. Matchless Amp?
