I think Visio from Microsoft can do it.

I have no experience of it, but searches of the web and look at the MS web site seem to indicate it can.

Visio is very good and totally easy to use especially compared to autocad, come to think of it anything is easy compared to autocad, Visio comes with some predefined symbols etc.. and you can find more on the net, but it is really easy to make your own symbols which you then keep as a library (Visio calls calls it a stencil) and just drag and drop to the page.
