You might want to chase down an ancient (40 year old) copy of Wintek's
smARTWORK.
HiWire (schematics) and smARTWORK (PCBs) were as awesome as they were because they were written by hardware engineers for internal use (Wintek's main products were 8051 dev boards) and later made into products in their own right. As such, I'll bet the code was pretty awful :-) but the programs were a dream to use. with HiWire you just basically thought your schematic onto the screen.
I used HiWire to lay out the ceiling tiles for a kitchen remodel.
