I use ISIS from Proteus's Labcenter Electronics.  It get's used every day
for schematic capture and you can also use it for simulating the electronics
you have drawn.  The simulator will model PIC, 8051, AVR, RTC's, eeproms,
LCD's etc... etc.  I find it the best for schematic capture and ease of use.
I have the PRO version, but there is a lite version available for free
download.  Not too sure if the lite version does the simulation though.

See their web page at

Never used it.
