So to post a formal answer- The program I used to create the diagram in the linked post was Adobe Illustrator, which is definitely not free. That being said, any descent vector drawing program can easily make diagrams like these- one free one that comes to mind is. That combined with a good library of commonly used symbols in SVG format would make creating these diagrams much easier. I have been able to find plenty of typical electrical circuit symbols but have yet to find home wiring symbols.
Standard Electrical Symbols
I have several that I have made, that I'd be happy to release if they would be useful. Edit- another program I have used in the past that is free is, which is a simple vector drawing program for X11 systems. Works great on Linux or OS X, and it includes a pretty big library of schematic symbols.
- I do a lot of test reports and layout revisions of Electrical Plans, and I need to be able to stamp electrical symbols in PDF's such as Receptacles.
