Engineers and hobbyists use VeeCAD for prototypes and small quantity builds, saving hours planning layouts on graph paper. VeeCAD makes prototyping practical where otherwise a PCB is required. Draw the schematic in your usual schematic editor, and after prototyping in VeeCAD use the same schematic with your PCB editor.
