I just found out about this new feature of the Digikey website. I haven't tried it yet, but for students and hobbyists, it may be a good alternative to buying a schematic capture tool:

Has anybody tried this yet? You need to have a Digikey login account in order to be able to save the drawing and export it as a PDF or PNG file...

I was able to save a simple schematic without having to register, though that would not be a problem.
